1. It provides the largest portion of the required decencies needed for 1.6 compared to other platforms, including versions new enough to work properly. 2. It is a stable long term supported distro, with a large and active community. 3. This is our primary development platform, so when testing things, Debian 8 with our required dependencies from our repo will be the most well tested and confirmed working. 4. We spent multiple months sorting out all the packaging details for this distro, including resolving issues with conflicting versions of some packages that we had to update on top of the base platform in a way that does not disturb other software. 5. Any other distro you plan on using will require significant work making sure you have all the required dependencies of the tested versions, or re-testing basically all FreeSWITCH functionality to confirm minor (or sometimes major) dependency version differences don't alter behavior.

Yeah looking for some technical explanation other than "do it" :)

If you just need opus its probably ok. And 1.6.3 will bring another round of media changes so you might want to try master or nightly packages to prepare for it.

We've resolved many issues since 1.4.19, have you considered trying 1.6.2? Its got some more improvements in this area.

We have packet captures at the edge of network that sound clear, but when they get to FreeSWITCH they sound distorted via delays and clipping.
I've tried several combinations of jitterbuffer settings, disabled/enabling RTP timers, conference. I have a mechanism I use in which I replay the RTP packets using SIPP and try them out. Is there a way to dynamically adjust the jitterbuffer so that the right size is being used? Right now I have it set at 180:540:540. Maybe there is some other setting I could try that would help?
Perhaps there's a way to force OPUS to use less bandwidth at the expense of quality?
I'm willing to share the PCAPs some examples.
Thanks in advance.
