Assuming this is all IAX, presently, the jitterbuffer is either on, or 
off, as you configure; it doesn't go off automatically if it's in the 
middle of a bridge (although "native bridging" does bypass it).

So, in your situation, with the current code, disable native bridging, 
and enable the jitterbuffer, and you should get it.

But, we're working on improving this area a lot; this is an uncommon 
situation, though:  Why doesn't the peer support jitterbuffering?
