[Freeswitch-users] Initiating application jitterbuffer multiple times

[Anthony Minessale]

If the jitterbuffer is already on, calling it again will just resize
it, so setting it to the same is redundant but harmless.

If you are surprised by why the jitterbuffer is paused during bridge:

If both sides of a bridge are RTP and both sides have a jb, its fairly
useless.  In fact if anything, it can worsen call quality.

You should only run jitterbuffers at points of termination change of
protocol.  Examples, if FS was hosting a conference or IVR, if you are
bridging the call to a phone for instance, you want to not use a
jitterbuffer because you want to preserve the original timestamps so
your phone can use its own jitterbuffer.

For special examples where you are using FS jitterbuffer in front of
something else that may not have one or some other special
circumstance you can use the setting chris mentioned to leave it
running.
