Description:During an h323 call setup, we noticed that RTP audio starts with a delay from 0 to 2 seconds after ooh323_indicate is queued. This happens only in the first two seconds of a call normally during ringback or early audio.

This problem is particularly annoying because with a 2 seconds delay in Italy (and in a lot of other countries) the first ring disappears completely and the delay appears like as a 6 seconds delay.

After some investigations, we discovered that the problem seems to be related to the ooMonitorCallChannels (ooh323c/src/oochannels.c) timers defined as:

     toMin.tv_sec = 2;  /* 2 sec */
     toMin.tv_usec = 100000; /* 100ms*/

reducing these values to 0 seconds and 500ms modifies the channel behavior and RTP audio starts with a shorter delay (0 to 500ms) with a better user experience.
We are testing these new values without any problem so far. We are evaluating if could be useful to introduce a config file setting or just change this value at compilation time.

We experienced the bug on version 13.17.1 but a quick look at the code shows the same problem even on versions 14 and 15.
