Speakerphone Plugin... with closed source software? (1 Viewer)

I'd like to build a speakerphone plugin... I've seen several requests in the request list. Howver, I can't find a free TAPI v3 OCX - anyone know of any? I've searched Google for days... :-(

I have found a good API from http://www.kaed.com/kdtele/, but it costs $69USD. All executables are royalty free, though. I don't mind buying it and building the plugin, but I wonder how everyone else feels about mixing OSS with closed source code. The downside to this is that it'd make development tougher for the rest of the MP community (I'd have to do it all, or others would also have to buy a license).

Comments?

Thanks,

Bret

This open-source project any use:

it for callerID but might include some relevent TAPI stuff

Thanks, saw that. Unfortunately it uses TAPI2.0 directly (read, PITA! ;-)).

It takes about two lines of code to dial the phone using KDTele. It'd take a *whole* lot more doing it with TAPI3.0/3.1 directly. I'll look into it more, but at $69, my time's worth more to me than fighting with TAPI...

FWIW, I'm leaning to using a TAPI3 compliant lib so we can substitute some VOIP phones (the API is the same). I don't want to invoke an external program because it'll have 1) a new window, and 2) a different UI. I'd like it to look built-in. I also want to be able to mute any audio source presented by MP when a call is offered.

Rgds,

Bret
