I probably should have put all my thoughts on this matter into one email,
but that's what I get for reading down the line and replying as I get to
things.  Sorry for the multiple posts from me on the same topic!

I just wanted to add that in Asterisk 1.6.1 and 1.6.2, new internal timing
mechanisms were introduced (res_timing_pthread and res_timing_timerfd) which
allow you to get away from using DAHDI as your timing source.  DAHDI is
still required for the MeetMe conference bridge application however, which
is why in Asterisk 1.6.2, the new ConfBridge() application was introduced,
which is not supposed to depend on DAHDI.  I haven't had a chance to play
around with this new application yet, but from all reports, it seems to be
working as intended.
