I've always had this kind of problems with ekiga, the first 2/3 seconds 
of sound are
of bad quality (cutted, metallic, ..) and always missing one or two 
seconds, and this last
for at least 3 years. this remind me that i still hasn't verified if 
this as been reported as a bug
to ekiga team

it is the reason why i'm using twinkle as a phone client, and twinkle 
isn't a good client
(weird translation, usability .... inexistant) but at least audio is 
good and it can ring on
a sound card and phone using another one.

Anyway instead of doing a Wait(), i used a Anwser() + 
Playback(silence/1) to get around this kind
of thing. Since it's most probably problem while decoding first bunch of 
audio sample, using Wait()
won't help.
