Nope, an X100P timing source is just "as good" as a DS3000P timing source.  
There's been some argument that a software timer should work just fine, but 
nobody's stepped up and provided the patches and test cases.

Meetme's the big thing, I think the IAX2 trunk timing has been moved to a 
software timer now that the jitter buffer's got PLC and needs to be 
self-timed now anyway.
