High cpu usage by chan_mobile even when no SCO audio routed in patch

I was testing asterisk with a bt dongle on an ARM router using a configuration that worked ok on an intel laptop and noticed that the load was always staying about about 1.0 even though the system was doing nothing.

I enabled thread tracing and noticed that chan mobile has, what could only, in my humble opinion be described as some stupid 1ms polling in a thread on file descriptors that you can only assumed would be available by something like select.

I changed the code to run every 100ms thinking that some threads elsewhere were adding data when a call and audio were present. The diff is below, and I noticed no real impact, apart from the low to settling down to about 0.05 to 0.20 which is about normal for the stuff that runs on t he router.

Its not really a patch as the code should got in the io.c but I cannot understand the point of polling every 1ms.
