If you want to use your own DSP transcoder, try asking on asterisk-dev. If you simply want to use a hardware based transcoder Digium and Sangoma have cards.

There are at least a few ways to combine asterisk and G.729. And honestly, I would say your problem is not so much the cpu load, but the licensing, because G.729 is under patent. You can buy G.729 licenses from Digium, and do G.729 natively in asterisk. http://store.digium.com/productview.php?category_id=5&product_code=8G729CODEC > Whether embedded scenario is a must for such development or is it > possible to use asterisk on server and dsp's through some PCI/Ethernet? It is also possible to have asterisk speak open codecs, like G.711, and have another ethernet-connected device to the codec, and pay a different vendor for that licensing. For example, you can use a Cisco 3945, load it up with DSPs, and setup the router config to do the transcoding between G.711 and G.729. I've done this before, and it works, but you have to shell out $10k + for the router and smartnet and all the DSPS if you are doing as many simultaneous channels as I'm using. But I'm still not sure this is your actual question. I realize English is probably not your first language, however, if you contracted for a job and you HAVE to use GPAC because somebody else told you that is the job requirement, I have no idea how to do that. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
