Summary:                    Distortion in Playback of .gsm files over non-GSM
channel
Description: 
On one of my Asterisk boxes, I am getting distortion on playback of .gsm
sound files. Distortion is heard when transcoding is used to a non-GSM
channel. Connecting over a GSM channel is fine.

The other Asterisk server running the same Asterisk SVN version is OK, so
it may be related to dual-processor or OS version.

Are you sure this isn't a bandwidth problem?  alaw uses a significantly
higher amount of bandwidth than gsm.  One thing to try is to run 'make
menuselect' and install the alaw sounds, and try again.  If you're still
getting distortion, then the problem is bandwidth, not transcoding.
