The makers of hardphones prolly get their G72x licensing by using a DSP that already has a license. The DSP can't be that expensive. I wish someone would make a PCI card with something like 8 of these chips on it and sell it cheap. Should be pretty easy to build a codec for Asterisk that uses the DSP card.
