asterisk users - Mar 2006 - choppy recorded sounds in asterisk

I have installed asterisk on numerous servers. Every install was done on
Fedora and (White box Linux). I now have zap channels in one of the
boxes (T-1). No matter what type of channel I call on (sip or zap) I get
some really strange artifacts in the sound, almost like a skip in the
playback. It seems to always be in about the same place in the
recording. Usually in the beginning of playback. For instance somewhere
in the "Comedian mail" part part of the voicemail greeting it will
hick-up, it also happens to Meetme and some other agi/php stuff I am
using. Someone please help me make Allison sound as sexy as she is
supposed to sound!

I'm sure it's unrelated, but this reminds me how softphones on my HP
notebook do this.  Everything else is fine, but any kind of softphone
flakes out a bit on SIP calls.  Other devices do not display this
behavior.

Have you tested different phones against your set-up?

This may not solve your problem but I think it is a good place to start.
Have you tried using Asterisk native sounds so that you are not doing any
transcoding?
