imsd-media spoke exactly one codec, AMR-WB. A landline caller reaches the
IMS core through the PSTN gateway, which offers narrowband — AMR (NB)
and/or G.711 — so with the engine now accepting those offers the media leg
has to play them.
CODEC (set by the daemon from the negotiated SDP) selects AMR-WB (the
default, unchanged), AMR, PCMA or PCMU. AMR narrowband rides the same RFC
4867 payload code as AMR-WB with its own frame-size table (RFC 4867 table
1) and libopencore-amrnb dlopen'd like the wideband pair — same package as
the AMR-WB decoder, no new dependency; AMR_MODE defaults to 7 (12.2 kbit/s)
for it. G.711 is the ITU-T table codec, raw samples in the payload, digital
zero as keepalive. The narrowband path runs pw-record/pw-play at 8 kHz and
steps the RTP clock by 160 per frame.
Two test seams so the leg can be driven against a synthetic RTP peer with
no PipeWire and no network: MIC_SRC=<file> feeds raw PCM through the
encoder in real time instead of pw-record, PCM_DUMP=1 writes the decoded
downlink to <out>.pcm. --selftest now covers both AMR tables (both payload
formats) and G.711 (digital zero, idempotence over the full 16-bit range,
1 kHz sine SNR >= 30 dB for both laws).
Verified on the workstation with a Python gateway stand-in for PCMA, PCMU
and AMR (octet-aligned and bandwidth-efficient): uplink RTP shape (pt, seq,
ts step 160, payload sizes 160 / 33 / 32) and a 440 Hz mic tone recovered
from our packets by an independent decoder; a 1 kHz gateway tone recovered
from our decoded downlink. The AMR-WB default path keeps its legacy
keepalive shape (ts step 320, FT0 payloads 19/18 bytes).
Userspace VoLTE/IMS daemon for mainline Linux phones (developed on the
Fairphone 6): a GLib-free core (SIP, SDP, USIM AKA, IPsec SA setup, RTP
media, call engine) behind a GDBus control daemon, a standalone AMR-WB
media leg, and a Plasma Dialer backend. C++26 modules built with Crafter
Build; the tree is clean under the project's house-style linter
(crafter-build lint) across all three build products.
