[asterisk-users] Initial silence during call

[M Hulber]

I believe it's echo and/or jitter being measured when the call is 
connected as I recall it being explained. This issue has existed for a 
long time and I'm not sure there's much you can do about it except to 
wait for a second before speaking when a call is connected.  I think 
maybe I have trained myself over the years to deal with this by waiting 
until I actually hear sound on the other end of the line before 
speaking.  For example, when I answer a call, I don't say, "Hello" until 
I hear a bit of noise on the channel which takes a second.  If it's 
longer than about a second maybe you have some other issues to deal with.
