Asterisk news

Hi All,

I've built Asterisk-1.0.6 and I was able to make test calls to/from 
FWD (connected trough IAX) and between XLite SIP softphones.

The voicemail is not working. I cannot hear anything when plaing the 
intro, but it looks that it records something (files are showing in 
the INBOX) but again no sound when checking the recorded voicemail.
When recording it comlains periodically (about every 3s)about 
receiving UDP packets with bad checksum.

When I loaded all the codecs I experienced the behaviour mentioned 
by "KK" - dies and fills all the swap, but with the GSM and uLAW 
codec seems to run happy consuming about 17M of RAM
(other codecs may run OK but I did not have time to add them one by 
one to see exactly which one cause the problem).

I have a question:
the ps command is showing 6 processes runing:
  641 ttyp1   root      17048   S   /opt/sbin/asterisk -vvvvvvvvgc
  642 ttyp1   root      17048   S   /opt/sbin/asterisk -vvvvvvvvgc
  644 ttyp1   root      17048   S   /opt/sbin/asterisk -vvvvvvvvgc
  645 ttyp1   root      17048   S   /opt/sbin/asterisk -vvvvvvvvgc
  646 ttyp1   root      17048   S   /opt/sbin/asterisk -vvvvvvvvgc
  647 ttyp1   root      17048   S   /opt/sbin/asterisk -vvvvvvvvgc
But on my Fedora 3 box, when starting asterisk with the same config, 
only 1 proces is created.
Is this a ps bug ?
Same thing for:
  228         root      10908   S   upnpd &>/dev/null
  237         root      10908   S   upnpd &>/dev/null
  238         root      10908   S   upnpd &>/dev/null
  241         root      10908   S   upnpd &>/dev/null
  242         root      10908   S   upnpd &>/dev/null
  245         root      10908   S   upnpd &>/dev/null

Also, the total amount of cache and RAM used is not consistent with 
so many big processes running :

-bash-2.05b$ free
              total         used         free       shared      
buffers
  Mem:        30556        27864         2692            0         
5200
 Swap:        56220         2820        53400
Total:        86776        30684        56092

Thanks,
Corneliu
