I need some decent voice over IP code that I can rip apart and put in my own programs. Anyone have any ideas on where to get it or would it be better to attempt to create it myself? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps. Quick edit: I may have put this in the wrong forum. Sorry if I did. [edited by - Steelrose on October 27, 2003 10:33:02 PM]

DirectX has some support for VOIP in the Direct Play interface. So if you don''t mind working with Direct Play, then you could go that route. I believe that there is an example that comes with the SDK. If you want to go this route, then it might be better to ask the question in the DirectX forum.

I can''t really use DX. My platform is Linux.

HawlNL and HawkVoice might be a good place to start :

Alternatively a roll your own might benefit from Speex

Take a look at OpenPhone from the OpenH323 Project. It''s an open-source VoIP-Client using the H.323/RTP Protocol. The source code is huge, and pretty messy, but there might be some interesting parts for you.

Coolness, just looked at the hawk software and it may fit the bill, but what is the Speex one?

Speak freely is a good point-to-point VOIP protocol, it does encryption, compression etc... (if you want it). Comes with source code -
