Although the bug was closed and "fixed", I was never satisfied that it was fixed correctly. The powers that be never adopted the asynchronous thread approach that I submitted as my fix. Life was too short to keep arguing about it. I build a lot of MeetMe systems and incorporate my own patch into them all. I expect I will still have to do so when I move to 1.4, but I haven't tested 1.4 yet. It certainly doesn't appear to have asynchronous play. Please try applying the last patch listed under that bug (head-v4). You may need to apply quite a bit of it by hand, as I expect the patch doesn't apply cleanly any more. If it fixes your problem (as I expect it will), I can only suggest you do as I do, and keep your own working version of app_meetme.c. Something else that I found helped enormously was another patch that was too late to be included in 1.2 (pity). You can find it at bug 5374: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5374 There are various patches there, but the one I find best, and include in all 1.2 systems that I build, is called 2005-10-04-3-asynchronous.patch It is the channel.c mods that are important. The changes to app_milliwatt, app_sms and app_chanspy will only matter if you use those modules. > Any ideas? > > Thanks in advance! Hope this helps. Please let the list know how you get on with the patches.
