Opus [0] is a versatile audio codec, with a variable sample rate and bitrate, suitable for both music and speech. It is defined in RFC 6716 [1] and required by WebRTC [2]. Opus can operate at various sample rates, from 8 KHz to 48 KHz, and at variable bitrates, from 6 kbit/sec to 510 kbit/sec. The RTP payload format defined for Opus in RFC 7587 [3] explains the use of media type parameters in SDP, and this article aims to analyze them and show in particular how "asymmetric streams" can be achieved.

People browsing their github account are often heard saying "Do they have this too? And this ? Wow!". It is compatible off the shelf with common applications like Kamailio, opensips, FreeSWITCH, Asterisk, so if you're into VoIP, adding Homer to your platform is as easy as installing it and telling your apps where to send their data. There are also standalone tools like captagent ,  nodejs apps to parse and collect specific logs, to be associated with the re...
