Hello,

thanks for all those details, very useful ...

To be clear -- the issue of using high cpu on idle (no active calls) was
with rtpproxy v1.2 on a centos (iirc, v6), not with rtpproxy 2.0. On
debian, same version of rtpproxy was not exposing this. I was just
curios to see if anyone else saw it ... might have been just that system...

Cheers,
Daniel
