I'm trying to figure out why the audio stream on the other end is  
choppy. With tests have done so far, the other end doesn't support  
packets larger than 80 bytes (or 10 ms for PCM MULAW). If I use the  
pkt_size, the problem is still there (not the same choppy audio  
though), but since the audio is choppy, my other hypothesis is that  
packets are sent in block... I need to validate that.

I'll rethink about that, thanks for your answer.
