Summary:ASTERISK-03781: Using a precalculated tone is easier on the processor than calculating it mathmatically

Description:The function playtones_generator could be optimized by a precompiled lookup table of tones (or it could cache each tone, after it's generated once).

This routine is very hard on processors without an FPU. (on a 533 Mhz Xscale, for example, a single call to app_disa overwhelms the processor) I would argue that precalcuating and generating most common indications at compile time would be a net performance win on other processors as well.

Nope, the solution is to implement a fixed point interface like we have in the kernel for tone generation.  See zaptel.c/tonezone.c
