Hi Alessandro,

ISDN has ever had problems and chan_capi was rolled out as the quality
of chan_capi is much superior to the chan_i4l one. So whenever you can,
use a CAPI driver or mISDN with chan_capi. I'll look into the new
chan_i4l, yet that's nothing to be rolled out too quickly without
testing.

if the problem isn't completely solved, waiting till it is sounds like a
good idea ;)

licensed mp3 are not free (as their adjective already tells), so we
couldn't ship it anyway. Could you please specify which one this is, so
we can take care of this? Is any of the current asterisk-sounds
licensed?

yep, that's bug #263879 very probably. Something to look into after the
release too.
