asterisk users - Dec 2005 - ztdummy on FC4

I'm running asterisk on FC4.  All works fine, including musiconhold.
I tried installing ztdummy as directed, since the documentation
indicates that ztdummy is required for good music quality.

However, installing ztdummy on FC4 causes moh to play very slow.
If I remove ztdummy, all works okay again.

I used to use ztdummy before FC4, on a 2.4 kernel, but now I cannot.

Do I really need it?

Will I need it when I implement conference calling?

Anyone have a similiar FC4 experience?

Jim

Check ztdummy.h and ztdummy.c and make doubly sure USE_RTC is defined.
It sounds like you are using a version compiled without USE_RTC on one
of the newer kernels that has fewer than 1000 jiffies per second.

If you do not have any zaptel cards in the system,then ztdummy is
required for anything that requires local timing. That includes
MeetMe, IAX2 trunking and possibly a few other things.

Yes, if you use MeetMe to do it.

Sorry, only used FC1 and FC3.
