I don't have any suggestions, but this is similar to something I am 
experiencing with Chanspy in 1.4.21.1.

If I spy on a call, then progressively throughout the call a delay is 
introduced. By the end of the call I can be listening to sound that is 
10 seconds out of sync. (Then I don't get to hear the end of the call 
when the call is finished).

This also leaves stale channels open. (the entry in show channels 
doesn't go away until the asterisk process is restarted).
