What's This?
LiveLink is a voice over IP software. It enables two users to talk to each other via voice through the Internet. All you need is an on-line computer and a microphone. LiveLink uses the MPEG-4 AAC technology to compress audio before transmitting it over the network. The AAC encoding is performed using libfaac and libfaad2 which are released under GPL by AudioCoding.com. You can also exchange files through the integrated download manager.
How to get it working?
LiveLink uses the UDP protocol to deliver to audio. By default, it uses the port 3333 to do the job. In order to get the audio session working, you'll have to enable that port on your ADSL modem/router (port forwarding) or within your firewall. This is really mandatory for the whole program to work. File transmission is based on TCP w/ a context being exchanged at the initialization of the audio session through UDP.
Where to get it?
You can download your copy of LiveLink from here. Both source and binary releases are available. LiveLink is "entirely (C) 2003-2006, Ilyes Gouta." and is released under the terms of the GPL license.
Future work...
The next major version of LiveLink will feature an inclusion of a whole framework to support more audio codecs such as GSM, AMR and AMR-WB. Stay tuned for the 2.0 release.
How to get the source code?
The main repository is located on https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/livelink. Just point your SVN client to https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/livelink/Main to check-out your working copy. Please notice that this is the main development branch so that you may find a non stable version of LiveLink or even a completely non compilable form. However it that branch will always reflect the latest version of the software. Stable versions or feature complete (for that version) will be found on https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/livelink/Tags.
