[Asterisk-Users] Development SOP - was:Downgrading Asterisk

[Rich Adamson]

For those still impacted by the iax2/gsm/cisco choppy sound, please add your
comments to bug #1742. The "source" of the problem tends to be the asterisk
box "originating" the iax2/gsm data flows (eg, if you hear choppy audio, the
* box at the distant end is the one originating inconsistent timestamps) so
be sure to include * version data for both ends (if possible).
