Adrian,

Trick question or not I was curious about the same thing.  Asterisk's
timing issues, for example, are well known in many parts.  Yet that seems
to be okay these days in a VM.  I have Meetme conferences running in a Xen
domU with no problems.

It's my limited understanding that how an application references a timer
will dictate its feasibility in a VM.

So, in this case, think it might work?


SylkServer uses PJMEDIA as the media backend, which uses the physical soundcard as a timing source. If there is no soundcard thread based timing is used.

Rack servers don't usually have a soundcard, so running without a soundcard and running virtual ins kind of the same.

About Asterisk, the timing issues were resolved long ago and works very well with DAHDI if HPET is enabled. Latest releases support other timing sources: TimerFD and pthreads based timing. AppKonference did the timing and on its own, but it also brought another advantage: the possibility of not to use Zaptel/DAHDI (MeetMe uses DAHDI mixing engine, so it's limited to 8KHz...).
