thank you everybody for your useful replies and so sorry to answer late. i understand what i need. first of all, i wanna to use pass through g729 codec (which is free). so i go to http://asterisk.hosting.lv/ to get g729 codec. i have freebsd 8.2 and asterisk 1.8.22 but there is no compatible codec for Xeon Intel in the list. it means that i can't use codec g729 on my system??? or can i use codec for another type of hardware for my system? anyone has any experience?
