And no one else might have the same hesitation as you?
(i.e., why not post the answer to your own question).

This is actually semi-interesting, because if you go here

http://ftp.iptel.org/pub/rtpproxy/

you get the impression that rtpproxy-0.3 is the one to get.
There is a file there named:   LATEST-IS-0.3    

But here:  http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Portaone+rtpproxy
it gives instructions for how to pull it out of CVS:

     *  Download from CVS 

   note: you should update rtpproxy from CVS in order for it to work:
	 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.ser.berlios.de:/cvsroot/ser login
	 press enter when prompted for a password
	 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.ser.berlios.de:/cvsroot/ser co
rtpproxy
	 then do the usual: ./configure; make; make install

and the code you get is different.

Note that the output of "rtpproxy -v" has not changed (yet).  So, the
CVS version is still 0.3, but it looks like some obvious bug fixes as
some arrays have had their dimensions increased by one, plus a couple
of new minor features (-T ttl and -L nfiles).

But wait, there's more:  there is even a man page (rtpproxy.8)!!

>> Anyone can explain following options:
>> 
>> 1. -2fv
>> 2. -s path
>> 3. -L nfiles

The man page is there in the distribution from CVS:

       -2     Send every RTP packet twice in  sessions  that  use
low-bitrate
              codecs.  Only  packets  that  are smaller than 128 bytes will
be
              sent twice. This option  can  improve  audio  quality  on
lossy
              links.

       -f     Rtpproxy will stay in foreground mode if this option is set.


       -v     Show version of program.

       -s ctrl_socket
              This  parameter  configures rtpproxy control socket. The
control
              [snip]

-L does not appear to be documented, but looking at the code it 
sets this:

     RLIMIT_NOFILE   The maximum number of open files for this process.

I have other things to say about rtpproxy, but I'll save it for
the next email...
