Summary:                    Drawn out and static audio on inbound iax2 calls
Description: 
Calls that are inbound on a DID, to which Asterisk has registered using
iax2, have terribly drawn out audio and a lot of static for prerecorded
files (e.g. IVR and Voicemail files in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds). They
sound like:
".... hhhheeeellllllloooooo..... Yyyyyyoooouuuu hhhhaaaavvvveeee " etc.

Specific details:
1) This occurs only on IAX2, not on SIP. I have tried with the exact same
providers, on the same hosts
2) jitterbuffer is off. If I turn jitterbuffer on, no audio at all is
audible.
3) This occurs across two completely separate providers, one in Israel,
one in the US. However, inbound from the ITSPs directly to an IAX2
softphone (e.g. JackenIAX or Zoiper) work perfectly fine.
4) This occurs only when communicating to Asterisk. If the dialer enters
an extension, and is thus connected over Asterisk to a SIP softphone, there
is no problem.
5) This occurs independent of codec. I have the original outbound files
converted to both ulaw and gsm, and it occurs in both cases. The provider
prefers ulaw.
6) CPU usage by Asterisk remains extremely low during the bad output.

OK, 1.4.25.1 is installed and configured. I couldn't use exactly the same
config files, spent time changing each and every one of the ExecIf
statements, and I am sure other gotchas are in there.

The audio problem does *not* exist under 1.4.25.1. 

1) I would like to try it under 1.6.0.x, if you can recommend a particular
sub-release to use.
2) I would like to do whatever I can to help capture this problem, so it
can be fixed for the core, whether it is a core bug, or something else
triggered by a configuration. Either way, what can I do to help here?

Now I need to move on to figuring out my DTMF issues and my internal
extension sound issues....
