We have Ubuntu 12.04 clients, using either SFLPhone or Bria 3.
There is no NAT involved in the network at all (it is disabled in sip.conf).

Here are the SIP messages capture via wireshark on the client during one problem call. Following these SIP messages, the wireshark trace shows only RTP packets from server (172.16.0.245) to client (172.16.0.71) except for an occasional RTCP packet from client to server (sample below).

Any help is appreciated. The uses are really beating me up to get this fixed.

you can capture sip invites from soft phone by enabling debug on client
ip sip set debug ip "ip of softphon" upload sip trace then somebody can
halp you, should provide more information's.

    I do have

    nat=no
    directmedia=no

    in sip.conf.  Are there other settings that might apply?

    This last instance that I looked at, the problem persisted even
    after restarting the client softphone program.  It was fixed after
    rebooting the client computer.

    Any ideas on a next step for debugging?  I was thinking I would
    start a wireshark trace to see if the rtp packets are actually
    leaving the client computer.

        where 1.2.3.4 is ip of your particular agent.
        Say your x agent is not getting voice, rtp debu his ip.
        You got rtp packet from and to for that ip. If you find rtp
        packet from
        your agent to your server ip and rtp packet from your server to
        agent
        ip, then no need to check anything in asterisk. Its related to your
        agent pc problem
        If you find any single side rtp, then its problem related to nat or
        direct media etc.
        if mix monitor is on storage than only you can face problem and
        thats
        also very rare. In that case you get voice in break, but it will
        be from
        both side not in single side. So, this is not your problem at all.
        Hope you will get something in rtp debug.
        R u using any trunk then also check rtp debug between your
        server and trunk

             Thanks for the suggestions.

             1) directmedia was taking the default of "yes".  I set to "no".
               Will watch and see.

             2) NAT is turned off (nat=no).  I've never done any RTP
        debugging.
               Is that "rtp set debug on ip 1.2.3.4"?  How would I
        interpret the
             output?

             3) mixmonitor recordings are stored on a local disk (RAID
        array,
             very fast)

             4) This would have to be a last resort option, as there is a
             business requirement to record the agent calls

                 1) Check directmedia option in sip. If enabled set it to no

                 particular agent
                 3) if not solved yet, Where are your storing your
        mixmonitor
                 recording?
                 On any storage ? If yes, try to record on local harddisk.
                 4) Remove mixmonitor and test again
                 Hope you find can find problem 99% in above scenario.

                          call center with 10-12 agents online at once using
                 asterisk queue

                          Occasionally an agent will get a call (or more
        often a
                 series of

                          heard in the recording.

        this or clues
                          about what might be wrong.
                          Is there a console command that will show
        details of a
                 specific

                      Silly guess, If there is no then NAT did you check
        that your
                      headphones work properly every time you start the
                 softphone? This
                      has happened to me in past.
