[Asterisk-bsd] Choppy sound error when starting server

[Chris Stenton]

As Staffan says you should use the latest zaptel via svn. There are known 
issues with the ports version.

To use ztdummy you need to recompile your kernel as per the instructions. It 
uses a s/w timer and if you don't recompile it will give all sorts of 
problems.

You will find that asterisk will work much better if you upgrade to 
FreeBSD-5.3/4, there has been a lot of work on threaded libraries which 
asterisk relies on.
