[arm-allstar] multiple echo link connections and "under water" audio

I have had the "underwater" sounding audio issue with certain X86 
servers using DIAL.  It usually occurs after the node has sit idle for 
some time, and usually presents this issue for a few transmissions then 
clears up.  The fix was to move to different hardware.  I've never 
experienced it on a RPi no matter the distribution.
