[Freeswitch-users] Choppy sound with PCMU

[Michael Jerris]

In short.  No, you can not for many reasons. The milisecond tic is  
used throughout the code even when there is not any calls up.  You can  
grep for switch_cond_next if you would like to see where but it is  
required to keep our global timestamp and for pacing the scheduler  
among other services that run all the time.
