Since Asterisk 13.12, Digium offers those audio codecs thanks to commercial but 
free transcoding modules. Those are closed source. Is it possible to get (just) 
the code related to loading the configuration file codecs.conf?

You know, I have open-source modules of those audio-codecs available on 
<https://github.com/traud?tab=repositories&q=asterisk>. If I implement the same 
codecs.conf code, users could switch between to/from the Digium variant more 
easily, especially macOS users. Any chance?

A small follow-up on that E-mail from last year. I submitted Codec 2 and iLBC 
20 into Asterisk and it got included.

I did not add GSM-EFR or AMR(-WB) because users might get confused that those 
are available only as pass-through but not as transcoding modules. If somebody 
has an idea how to advertise this fact correctly to users (like a message 
somewhere: "you can download a transcoding module from xyz"), any ideas are 
welcome.

Since Asterisk 13.12, menuselect offers the ability to download binary modules. 
Could that be extended to download source code files? In that case, users could 
download such a transcoding module via menuselect.



By the way, just to make a bit of advertisement, last month I added a 
transcoding module for the successor of AMR-WB to my GitHub as well: 3GPP 
Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) <https://github.com/traud/asterisk-evs>. 
Hopefully that is useful not only to me.
