Provide "low bandwidth" mode #327

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Using Internet connections with a low bandwidth or with a high packet loss 
often results in poor 
connection quality when using SIP (e.g. lost audio fragments). In such a 
situation, switching to a 
codec that uses high compression (e.g. GSM) can in my experience greatly 
improve the connection 
quality.

Others have suggested a way to specify the codec priority for a SIP connection, 
which could be used 
in this case:
http://code.google.com/p/telephone/issues/detail?id=37

However, as this use case depends on the network connection instead of the SIP 
server, I suggest 
having a "low-bandwidth mode" that could be enabled in such cases and that 
would reconnect all 
SIP connections using the GSM codec.

I suggest having this available as a menu item in the main menu.

I like the idea! I’m merging this issue into issue 37, because I think it can 
be implemented as part of codec priority feature.
