I'll try to reproduce this audio issue over the next several days.

If anyone has some active nets where this issue is happening, I'll try to 
link in via echolink and have a listen.

Also, if any user can link a HamVoIP system into one of these nets, using 
chan_echolink, and capture some audio that might be useful. Please record 
the audio file using PCM (uLAW). That is accomplished by setting the 
rpt.conf node parameter: archivetype=pcm
