[asterisk-dev] Asterisk timing without hardware

[Goldenear]

Hello,

I wonder if Asterisk and all its features could work without the use of 
specific hardware timing. If it has not been changed recently, IAX 
trunking or VoiceMail won't work properly if there is not a zaptel 
device installed or at least the ztdummy module loaded (using timing 
from USB). Why could not asterisk use by default timing from (software) 
rtc ?
If asterisk was really hardware independant it would be much more easy 
to run it on virtual servers, isn't it ?

Regards.
Nicolas
