Thanks Tzafrir, You are correct the post is very old.
It is also correct that there is no requirement for MoH to be in MP3
format, that is why I already replaced all MP3s with native formats
(ULAW, ALAW, GSM etc).
But even though the distortion is heard sometimes it is terrible and
making leaving the call unprofessional. That make me think and suspect
for timing related issues which seemed earlier.
The sound files plays music and voice in-between at some interval, is
there any issue of having music and voice same time in MoH?

Thanks.
