Here's the thing. I've found this open source streaming software WinRTP (http://www.vovida.org/) (the only G.711 streamer I could find) and it has a couple of deficiencies. For starters it doesn't do multicast.. but that's an issue I could fix as I'm quite familiar with network programming. However, another problem is the way it synchronizes audio. Currently, it uses the microphone filter to ensure that the output has a constant rate. This limits the number of concurrent streams that are sent to one as there's only one microphone on most computers (and some, especially servers have none as they don't have any audio). In order to use WinRTP in such an environment, the mic filter from the filter graph built would have to be replaced with a constant rate filter of some kind. I'm absolutely clueless in multimedia programming but I'm wondering if anybody here has done a similar thing, maybe even had a component that could be easily integrated into WinRTP.
