Perhaps system too busy, disk not fast enough? before doing a play-back, run "iostat 1" in another window
interesting. the stutter certainly correlates to minor amounts of disk i/o. when there is no stutter, there is nothing to report. but a minor amount of wait/busy lines up with the stutter.

Incase iowait is too high, try moving the files with the playback sound/speech upon tmpfs (thus eliminating the hard disk)
That's worth a shot. I dont have big enough tmpfs to copy the whole sounds spool, so i:
# cd /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en/ # mkdir /tmp/sounds # ln -s /tmp/sounds tmpfs # cp mysound.ulaw tmpfs Playback(tmpfs/mysound) But it didnt help, still randomish stutter lining up with the disk. this is a great help, at least i can start hacking at things now.
