[Allstar Digital] DMRGateway

[John D. Hays]

I speculate that the solution is going to be implementing jitter buffering
on the PCM side of the audio going into the DV3000 (ThumbDV or PiDV) and
possibly outbound.  The AMBE3000 chip is a fairly simple I/O device and the
packet protocol is looking for a stream of PCM audio coming in for AMBE
out, and a stream of AMBE in for PCM out.  If those streams are 'starved'
(underflow) for data, it doesn't automatically fill in the missing data.
