[Asterisk-Dev] Jitter Buffer

[Lubomir Christov]

Yes, SIP don't have a jitter buffer, but if you increase this value in 
rtp.c  it will help you :)

if (abs(rtp->lastts - pred) < 640)
                        rtp->lastts = pred;

Change the 640 to something larger, perhaps even as high as 8000 (one
second).
