[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Native Sound Distortion (ulaw)

[shadowym]

I have the same problem and so do many others.  I filed a bug report but it
was cancelled because the developers did not feel it was a problem with
Asterisk.  Perhaps they just don't want to support native sounds.  If they
did it would technically be considered a problem with Asterisk.  So
basically there does not appear to be any interest in fixing this. 

I found that the distortion was consistent.  In other words it happened in
the same way at the same time in a particular file.  I suspect it has
something to do with how Asterisk plays it back and not any sort of
hardware/IDE/interrupt issue.  Kris, the developer of Astlinux didn't seem
to have any ideas why it would not work as well on Asterisk either.

Bigger systems have large buffers.

An hourly cron job to can the sound files you normally use to /dev/null?
