Are You using bristuff 0.3.0-PRE-1f? I've had the same issue. Dan Austin
wrote a notice in a mail on this list, which solved the problem.

Configure the following lines in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf:

[options]
silence_suppression=yes

The bristuff seems to include an additional patch, which isn't stable
enough.
