Summary:                    [patch] Milliwatt() is off by -11dbm
Description: 

Confirmed on asterisk 1.4.25.1 and 1.6.1.1 that the milliwatt is about
-11dbm 

Standard PC system, T100P T1 card, to Newbridge Mainstreet 3624
using dahdi-linux-complete-2.1.0.4+2.1.0.2
Debian kernel linux-2.6.28
measured with dbm meter from channelbank

its -11dbm at 1.000kHz, and at 1.004kHz

This can be confirmed because it worked perfectly on same hardware before
software upgrade ( kernel-2.6.15  asterisk-1.2.15  zaptel-1.2.13). 

suspect slinear<->ulaw conversion process, can't confirm.

Modify how Playtones() is used in Milliwatt() to resolve gain issue.

When Milliwatt() was changed internally to use Playtones() so that the
proper
tone was used, it introduced a drop in gain in the output signal.  So, use
the playtones API directly and specify a volume argument such that the
output
matches the gain of the original Milliwatt() code.
