Description:Summary pretty much says it all. Users have run into issues with multiple timing sources being loaded and then have no documentation to refer to to fix this problem.

Part of this will be resolved with Russell's merge of the timing priority stuff, but details about what is going on should be documented.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I will be uploading a documentation update here shortly.

Draft 1 uploaded. Feedback desired.

putnopvut: it reads fine to me... the only thing I can really think of is to correlate ztdummy to something so people understand where it "went". That information may already exist in UPGADE or something like that though if so, then maybe you can point to it as a "See Also" section.

I would like to read about other cases, when and why some timming source is desirable and helpfull in asterisk. Because MeetMe is only application, that really depends on timing source (dahdi_dummy). I can't found any other case, when timming is somehow usefull, I don't see any change in asterisk function, when I not using timming. I tried to run asterisk with or without -I option.

Add documentation for timing modules used in Asterisk

This document specifies the timing modules available in Asterisk beginning
with Asterisk 1.6.1. The document goes into detail about the differences
between each and gives a general overview of what timing is used for in
Asterisk. There is also a section which can be used to help customize
your setup or to troubleshoot timing issues you may have.

I also added messages to the DAHDI timing test used in res_timing_dahdi.c
that points to this new documentation if people experience problems.

Big thanks to all who contributed comments on this.
