In order to get the proper encoding for Asterisk, you must provide the
correct values for each of these characteristics. In your case, they
are as follows:
rate = 8000
data size = 8-bit (byte)
data encoding = gsm
channels = 1 (mono)
Therefore, the command you would use to create your native MOH files is:
sox in.wav -t gsm -r 8000 -b -c 1 out.gsm
As G729 is a patented codec and so not available in Free Software, you'll have
to figure out how to translate those values for whatever software you are using
to create G729 files.
