Hardware dependent DAHDI timing issues were originally repaired by Steve (N4IRS) and Mike (N4IRR) in the DIAL release for X86 and the original Pi release. This patch is necessary as some hardware doesn’t accommodate for VoIP audio streaming properly as a hardware function. Somehow along the way, this fix got lost, broken, or corrupted in later ASL 1.0 Raspberry Pi distributions. Adam KC1KCC found and fixed this in his version which ultimately became ASL 2.0.0. DAHDI timing issues result in a stuttering of the transmitted audio stream, sometimes sounding like a machine gun in the background.
The wide bandwidth rules are an invention of Jeff (WN3A) and are available to widen both the receive and transmit audio path (local) when the usbradio channel driver is used. This is well documented here:
