Actually, the fatal issue is that asterisk's chan_oss or chan_alsa 
grabs the sound device, so iaxclient can't do so.

In the normal case, asterisk will start first, and get the port, then 
iaxclient will grab a transient port.  This all works out OK, since the 
port that iaxclient uses doesn't matter unless you want to receive 
calls on it without registration.

Right, that's the thing that will make it work.
