I have used G729 and it sounds almost as good as G711U. The problem is the way Asterisk uses it. It does not sound robotic and it's not suppose to sound that way. Most Carriers want the calls to be in g711u so thats why I use G711u otherwise I want to save money on bandwidth. G729 on Asterisk adds latency. this could be one of your problems. Also you will not get music on hold to play well with G729.
G.729 doesn't sound that bad. However, if you find it hard to tell G.729 from G.711, I think you should have your hearing checked. :-) It really doesn't help people to assess what is right for them, if other people make these exaggerated and unreasonable claims. Even the people promoting G.729 give it a MOS far below G.711. You are certainly right about music on hold, but even voice plus a little background noise can sound bloody awful through G.729. Its performance is *very* dependant on compressing just a single human voice.
