[Freeswitch-users] How to inspect the jitterbuffer?

[John]

Holger, Anthony,

I'm seeing a similar/identical 'feature' where the voice is 
intermittently broken on ISDN; I've raised ticket #1310 with Sangoma.  
My MTU is still on the default 80 but there is no IDLE_FLAG setting 
(default 0, I guess?).

Interestingly(!), it is intermittent and unpredictable, but when it 
manifests there is no clear pattern as to what will be disrupted; A wav 
audio played by a Lua IVR will be fine, then on the same call the MOH 
will be broken, as will the voicemail outgoing message and finally the 
internal user's speech.  The path from ISDN into FreeSWITCH is never 
disrupted (no surprise).  Record_session doesn't show the breaks and 
there's nothing in the FS logs.  I have sample audio taken from another 
(SIP only) FreeSWITCH instance which demonstrates the problem, but as 
the fault is intermittent and on a production system, debugging is 
taking some time.  Sangoma has asked me to take samples at the ISDN (S?) 
interface and the echo canceller on the B700 board.  When I next have 
the problem manifest, and grab those traces, I should be able to share 
the results once Sangoma has decoded them.  I can make available the 
audio samples I already have if that would help.
