It all depends what are you going to use Asterisk for. Sounds like it is for conferencing. Would you care to elaborate?

Hello there! During some research on Internet I found the following comparison on site Voip-Info (see, "http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/OpenPBX.org+FAQ"): The main points listed on Asterisk's "CONS" that concerned me were: * Conferencing on Asterisk depends on Zaptel hardware and/or kernel modules for timing; * Lack of built-in STUN support for SIP NAT traversal; * Asterisk doesn't use SpanDSP; * Use of no longer maintained Berkeley DB1 engine as its internal database; * Asterisk doesn't allow CSRC entries in RTP; * Asterisk doesn't have an universal jitterbuffer for use with any channel type; * Asterisk doesn't use POSIX realtime extensions (having dependency with Zaptel timing); We were considering Asterisk as the chosen platform, but after reading this I got a little worried. The comparison considers 1.4 old version of Asterisk. So, can someone give me an update on what have changed for this items considering new 1.6 version ? Maybe someone can point me a site with an updated comparison. As long as I could see by now SpanDSP is present on new version of Asterisk, so this item isn't a difference any more. Right ?
