[Linphone-users] My machine just rebooted!

I've been having this problem lately, even when testing things under
Windows on the same machine.  I've noticed that it only happens when I
use my USB headset (Plantronics DSP 400).  I can't get good audio
quality from other SIP and IAX clients that only support OSS devices.
Now with the latest version of linphone (0.12.1), I am able to finally
test using my USB headset.  However, the audio starts out good, then a
few seconds, or sometimes almost immediately, the audio starts getting
choppy and distorted and seems to repeat itself a lot, then it might
clear up for a second or two and then get bad again.  The last time I
tried it, something must have overloaded my laptop, and it rebooted.
This has happened before with other software phone clients using the
same headset (under Windows, too).

I don't know if this is a problem to do with ALSA sound drivers for my
device, or what.

Also, I'm using linphone in the context of the Asterisk PBX.  I was not
able to make linphone register with "the proxy" (i.e., Asterisk), until
I replaced the 'host=dynamic' value with the actual IP address of the
machine linphone was running on.

Thanks.
