Hi Gang,

             My production box with my DAHDI cards is a 1.4.26 build.  I
have 3 test machines that I do IAX communication with.

Machine 1 is a real Dell POWEREDGE 1500 running CENTOS running 1.4.30.
Machine 2 is a SUSE 11.1 VM running 1.4.30.  Machine 3 is another SUSE 11.1
VM running 1.8.0.   I can SIP into all 4 machines and life is great.  When I
try to IAX from the live machine to Machine 3, I get lags/pauses on
Background/Playback commands.  I play files and groups of files that last
from 1-45 seconds, so I can press keys and proceed, but I don't expect my
end-users to know to do this.  Any clues?  Do I need to open a tracker issue
on this one?

 

Thanks

Danny Nicholas

There is an open bug on this - or something very like it -
https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=18110

The work around seems to be to set

 

internal_timing = yes 

 

 in asterisk.conf

 

and 

 

noload => res_timing_dahdi.so

;noload => res_timing_pthread.so

noload => res_timing_timerfd.so

 

in modules.conf

 

Which forces asterisk to use the (older less efficient/accurate) pthreads
timer.

 

The bug looks to be being worked on, so I'm optimistic it will be fixed
soon.

 

Tim.

Thanks Tim,

This workaround has worked for all of my testing this morning.
