I now have a working IAX soft phone up and running. Answering and dialing works. The sound quality is good. And the amount of cpu usage is around three percent. But as soon as I add all the animating graphics, like sound input/output meters and stuff, that figure will go up substantially. But one of the goals is to try to avoid letting the program becoming a resource hog.

I decided to really try to stay focused on the basic stuff to really iron out the bugs/memory leaks before continuing to the fun stuff like user interface. But thanks to Project Builder, it’s easy to make a usable interface immediately.

I wanted to call the program Breaker-Breaker! but there’s already a rock band called that. And even worse, a film with Chuck Norris. Next alternative, Ten-Four. If you can think of a better name, please comment.

If I manage to keep this tempo up, I’ll have a usable beta in a couple of weeks. Touch wood.
