Summary:                    [patch] Make internal_timing on by default
Description: 
Are there any reason to not have internal_timing on by default?

As I already wrote in https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=15296, 
"I never understood why internal_timing is not YES by default. Everybody I
know turn it on as the first thing after Asterisk installation. And I see
lots of "i have bad audio" topics on forums where people eventually get
advice "turn internal timing on". From the other hand, I have not seen any
problem which is solved by turning that timing off.. "

Since Leif suggested me to fill an issue about the subject so here we
are...

Internal timing is now on by default, if you're using DAHDI 2.3 or above.

The reason for ensuring DAHDI 2.3 or above is that this version ensures
that
a timer is always available, whereas in previous versions, it was possible
for DAHDI to be loaded, but have no drivers to actually generate timing. 
If
internal_timing was turned on in this circumstance, a complete lack of
audio
would result.  This is the reason why internal_timing was not on by
default.
However, now that DAHDI ensures the availability of a timer, there is no
reason for this setting to be off (and in fact, it solves a great many
initial
user problems).
