While you are correct that the syncing of clocks won't do a thing for
the problem since nothing is sending timestamps back and forth to be
bothered with. If VoIP required system clocks to be synced, 90% of
windows users would be screwed.

As for the poor coding, don't think so. Request to schedule in the past
is usually a timing issue, as in a zaptel timing issue. You need to have
something waking up the various threads regularly to send audio. Usually
this is attributed to a machine that is not able to handle realtime
load. This would be consistent with the original poster saying his
problem was solved by converting his mp3 moh files to a more appropriate
set of settings.
