You're assuming that asterisk will perform an fsync() after each write.
If asterisk writes without an fsync after each write, then the OS will
schedule writes intelligently based on RAM/disk IO available rather than
scheduling each one as a separate write.

Looking at the code for ast_writestream() there doesn't appear to be an
fsync() type call after each write, but someone more familiar with the
internals of Asterisk would be better able to verify that.
