asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Unable to open IAX timing interface: No such file or directory

Hello,

I just compiled and started Asterisk 1.0.2 following "Getting Started 
With Asterisk Version 0.1a" from
http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm

I made only one change to default config files - I changed from using 
oss to alsa.
I don't have any devices so far.

I started asterisk from the command line:

# asterisk -vc

and I got this warning (this was also before I changed from oss to alsa):

res_musiconhold.c:564 moh_register: Unable to open pseudo channel for 
timing... Sound may be choppy.


What does it mean? Is it something to worry about? How to get rid of it?

Hello,

Another warning I have.

I just compiled and started Asterisk 1.0.2 following "Getting Started 
With Asterisk Version 0.1a" from
http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm

I made only one change to default config files - I changed from using 
oss to alsa.
I don't have any devices so far.

I started asterisk from the command line:

# asterisk -vc

and I got this warning (this was also before I changed from oss to alsa):

chan_iax.c:7507 load_module: Unable to open IAX timing interface: No 
such file or directory


What does it mean? Is it something to worry about? How to get rid of it?

The answer to 1 & 3
You need a timing device, you don't have a Digium card so compile and
install ztdummy from zaptel-1.0.2, you need to un-comment it in the
Makefile.

2 = No, unless you want MOH, meetme and other interesting things.

For these and many other basic questions first search google:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Alists.digium.com+Unable+to+open
+IAX+timing then search voip-info.org and maybe then ask on the mailing
list.
