Speaking of audio quality, does anybody know why Skype's audio quality
is better than that of Asterisk to most users? I have been trying to
figure that out but dont seem to get what may be left out, even on
GSM. Am I looking the wrong direction to begin with?


Skype uses wideband voice. This means you can do things like tell an "f" from an "s", which you cannot do on a normal telephone line. The whole voice sound is much more "hi-fi". The codec they use is the wideband version of iLBC. Although narrowband iLBC is free to use, wideband iLBC is not.
