PS1:
I actually consider it a bug that only osmo-bts is using libortp; all other RTP endpoints [in my pla […]
In order to make ortp optional in OsmoBTS, we will need to provide an alternative implementation of the required jitter buffer facility. I have plans to implement one (please see OS#6474), but in terms of work schedule, I am probably still many months away from it.
However, allowing ortp to be disabled in libosmo-abis prior to those distant-plans OsmoBTS changes will significantly lower the pain for Slackware network servers builds. OsmoBTS does not run on MSC/BSC/etc servers, it runs on the sysmoBTS embedded box, while a more conventional x86 server machine (or many such machines in larger networks) runs everything from OsmoBSC up to OsmoHLR. This ortp dependency is a major pain point for non-Debian minimalist distros, and when I realized that it is not actually needed, the situation becomes a bug in need of a fix.
