Hi Vinicius.

Ok, thanks!

>>/ 2. If I enable and force jitter buffer, Asterisk would always have to
/>>/ 
/>>/ stay in media path to make it function, right? If I am right, this 
/>>/ effectively disables native RTP bridging.

Yes, that makes a sense. I was just wondering if it is possible to configure it the 
way that the jitterbuffer is enabled only if the asterisk server can not do native RTP bridging...


>>/ 3. Is it possible to only enable jitter buffer on calls where the SIP
/>>/ 
/>>/ trunk is involved? It is no use for me to enable the jitter buffer 
/>>/ between SIP phones on the same LAN.

Well, I think that would not work since the jitterbuffer is only effective on the outgoing channels.
If I receive a call from the SIP trunk, I hear jitter. To suppress it, I would have to enable jbforce/jbenable on my 
local SIP channel as this is the outgoing one - the SIP trunk is the incoming one, right?

Many thanks,
Ondrej
