Environment:Attachments:( 0) rtp_marker_bit.patch
Description:When this test is not true:
       if (!ast_test_flag(rtp, FLAG_P2P_SENT_MARK)) {
               mark = 1;
               ast_set_flag(rtp, FLAG_P2P_SENT_MARK);
       }
the marker bit is lost.



****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

The marker bit is extracted from  rtrpheader[0] using
       mark = seqno & (1 << 23);
which means it's either 0 if false or 0x800000 if true.

Later, this value gets shifted left 23 bits (out of the 32 bit word.

Cure is to replace
       mark = seqno & (1 << 23);
with
       mark = (seqno & 0x800000) >> 23;
per the attached patch.

Note that padding and ext would suffer from these as well, but they are not used within the function.

Fixed in 1.4 as of revision 57768 and trunk as of revision 57769. Thanks!

I had occasion to work in rtp.c again, and noted that the patch that I submitted is not present in trunk. Not in 1.4.17 either.

I do not understand.

The way packets were handled was changed almost completely so while your patch is no longer there, the issue should not be present.
