Hi, is anybody interested in porting IHU to Maemo? *IHU* is a *Voice over IP* (VoIP) application for Linux (using Qt), that creates an audio stream between two computers easily and with the minimal traffic on the network.
I use Google Talk to communicate with my 770. The problem is that the other part must use Windows, since there is not any application in linux (AFAIK) that can establish a voice connection with Google Talk. Maybe I am wrong in something, because 770 is a Debian system and uses Google Talk, but that is what I have read at Google web site: http://www.google.com/talk/intl/es/otherclients.html The main features of IHU are: - Peer-to-Peer: the communication takes place directly between the computers (UDP and TCP both supported), without need of session protocols (such as SIP or H323) or other servers in the middle. - Good audio performance: IHU was born to give the best audio performance, low latency above all. For this purpose IHU is compatible with ALSA <http://www.alsa-project.org/>, now the default Linux sound architecture, but also with JACK <http://jackit.sourceforge.net/>, a low latency sound server. For the audio compression, IHU uses Speex<http://www.speex.org/>, a codec optimized for speech (and completely free and open source). - Crypted stream: you have also the possibility to Encrypt/Decrypt the stream using a fast hybrid cryptographic system (RSA + Blowfish) - Command-line support: the GUI is not strictly necessary, you can run also a textual IHU from command-line (for example if you need to run the program on remote computers). - Free and Open Source: IHU is totally free and distributed under the terms of GNU General Public License<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> The possibilities of use of IHU are endless, for example you can use it like a phone to talk with your friends all around the world, or at home/work, to talk between computers in the LAN (talkback), etc. http://ihu.sourceforge.net/
