Hi Jan and Maxim:
Maybe you can help me with this.
I'm using Debian sarge r3.0 and SER apt packages (0.9.6)

I was looking at the CVS Repository if there was something related to this behavior with RTPPROXY and I found the following annotation for ser/rtpproxy/main.c on July 4:

Since we are now opening control socket in non-blocking mode, there is
race condition between accepting stream connection on unix domain
socket and availability of data on the socket. Patch it by doing read()
in a loop until we actually get the data. While I am here, allow V
command to take extra argument, which we don't process but put into
the log file. This allows to pass some extra information from the
client (SER in this case) such as PID number for example.

Does it have something to do with my problem? BTW I found a bug posted too at the lists.debian.org:
Bug#356721: ITP: rtpproxy -- RTP proxy for SER

Am I doing something wrong with my installation/configuration or is it a bug?

Regards

I tried but I'm still receiving the same messages:

Does anybody else have seen this behavior?

Yes, that happens when the nathelper module is unable to contact the rtppoxy either because it is not running or it is an old version and is incompatible with your nathelper.

I have checked and the RTPProxy is running and listening:

Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established)

And the rtpproxy socket configuration at ser.cfg is ok too:
# -- nathelper params --
modparam("nathelper", "natping_interval", 30)
modparam("nathelper", "ping_nated_only", 1)
modparam("nathelper", "rtpproxy_sock", "unix:/var/run/rtpproxy.sock")

Try this instead:
modparam("nathelper", "rtpproxy_sock", "/var/run/rtpproxy.sock")
