FreeSWITCH First to Support Polycom's 32khz HD-Audio.

The FreeSWITCH development team is pleased to announce the
availability of two new codecs:

Polycom's G722.1 and G722.1C Codecs (Siren).

The Polycom Siren(tm) family of codecs offers high-quality and low-bandwidth
performance that works for all audio, including music. The Siren(tm) 7
G.722.1 (16 kHz) and Siren(tm) 14 G.722.1C (32 kHz) codecs will allow
FreeSWITCH users to have access to HD telephony without expensive
licensing requirements.

This makes FreeSWITCH the first and only open source software that can do transcoding, conferencing and bridging of this exciting new 32khz audio format.

The FreeSWITCH community would like to extend a special thank you to
Steve Underwood for graciously donating his knowledge, experience, and
programming abilities to the creation of these codec libraries as well
as his continued support for the FreeSWITCH project.

These codecs will appear in FreeSWITCH as mod_siren.
