Digium's official answer to my question: "Hi Steve, Having labbed it up, you're going to need the licenses to perform the monitor / recording; otherwise, you end up with empty recordings."
Thanks,
Steve

The way I understanding it - a license is required if the media
has to
be processed by the pbx core. Somebody please correct me if I'm
wrong.
To record the call, the pbx core will transcode the incoming
stream to
the its native format (SLINEAR?) and then write the stream out
in your
recording format (xlaw or GSM). In short, you'll need a G.729
license.
