[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Voice over IP

[From: Timo Steuerwald]

Hi all,

I'm new to the maemo platform and relative new to linux coding. This platform looks very cool and exciting for me. :-)

I thought about a Voice-over-IP application that uses a headset via bluetooth. Theoretical this should be possible, but 
at the tutorial there's a paragraph ("Things not yet part of maemo SDK"), that says that WLAN access and multimedia 
support is not possible through the maemo SDK. I'm not sure what this means for my plans. I will use the existing 
WLAN connection to initiate VoIP sessions via SIP and send the audio stream itself via RTP protocol, so I don't need 
necessarily access to a WLAN API. The bluetooth headset should be accessible through a generic bluetooth 
interface. 
The only thing I need is access to TCP, IP and UDP as on common Linux operating systems.
Seeing that, this application should be possible to build anyway. Or not?

Many thanks for your answers in advance!


Bye,

Timo
