Summary:                    my asterisk comes down in flames randomly, it
appears to be related to chanspy

transcoding

Asterisk 1.4.7

i have around 14 calls and 6 out of them might be chan_spy calls

I have been reading other bugs related to spy channels, specifically
mixmonitor, and I have found that spy channels + jitter buffer enabled =
random crash.

I have disabled my jitter buffer in my production server and found that my
backup server had it disabled. My production server hasn't crashed once
with chanspy enabled and jitter buffer disabled but maybe it's too soon to
come to conclusions.

Renemendoza, does your server have jitter buffer enabled? If so, try
disabling it and test the chanspy.
