Yes, I did just that yesterday, and the playback is similarly distorted
then.  That experiment is what made me pretty certain that the
mod_conference timer was my culprit.

-heavy-timer is new to me, thanks for the tip.  My problem is not timer
accuracy, but timer synchronization with the T1 clock.  But grepping for
heavy-timer may give me some insight on how to replace the main timer if it
turns out that I need to go that way.
