Description

Hello,

I'm using the BigBlueButton as stadalone and it works fine.
But there is an audio problem when I use it as a feature in Tiki.
Everything works fine except the audio. When I click on the headset it doesn't join the audio server (freeswitch).

I have the same problem on this site:
http://tiki.org/live

Tested on Tiki 6.3, 7.0beta2, 7.0RC1 with the same effect.
BBB version 0.71a as a VM
Firefox 4.01, Chromium 11.04

Thanks,
Chris

Solution
The plugin should be modified to use the room name as an id param instead and add a title param for the title to be displayed on the wiki page.
Workaround

It turns out that by looking into the logs of BBB, Tiki is passing the name of the room as the number to call FreeSwitch (or Asterisk).
Since by default FreeSwitch in BBB 0.71 only accepts 5 digits starting with 7 (ie 7XXXX) it suffices to call the room with a 5 digit number starting with a 7.
With Asterisk it appears to work with any 5 digit number (e.g. 00001 or 12345).
It is an ugly workaround since the wiki plugin displays the number as a title, but it works.
