The zttranscode module is getting loaded automatically by Linux when
Asterisk tries to see whether there is a hardware transcoder.

If you don't have a hardware transcoder, add the following line to
/etc/asterisk/modules.conf:

noload => codec_zap.so

Then Asterisk won't try to access the transcoder device. Much cleaner.

Of course, the init scripts should account for zttranscode as well.
