Hi, is anybody interested in porting IHU to Maemo?<br><br><b>IHU</b> is a <i>Voice over IP</i> (VoIP) application for Linux (using Qt), that creates an
audio stream between two computers easily and with
the minimal traffic on the network.<br><br>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:
<a href="http://www.google.com/talk/intl/es/otherclients.html">http://www.google.com/talk/intl/es/otherclients.html</a><br>
<br>The main features of IHU are:<br>
<ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Peer-to-Peer</span>: 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. </li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Good audio performance: </span>IHU
was born to give the best audio performance, low latency above all. For
this purpose IHU is compatible with <a href="http://www.alsa-project.org/">ALSA</a>, now the default Linux
sound architecture, but also with <a href="http://jackit.sourceforge.net/">JACK</a>, a low latency sound
server. For the audio compression, IHU uses <a href="http://www.speex.org/">Speex</a>,
a codec optimized for speech (and completely free and open source).</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Crypted stream</span>: you have
also the possibility to Encrypt/Decrypt the stream using a fast hybrid
cryptographic system (RSA
+ Blowfish)<br>
</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Command-line support</span>:
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).<br>
</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Free and Open Source</span>:
IHU is totally free and distributed under the terms of <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html"> GNU General Public License</a><br>
</li></ul>
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.<br><br><a href="http://ihu.sourceforge.net/">http://ihu.sourceforge.net/</a><br><br>
