Its obvious that Steve never looses, even when he's wrong, so arguing
about it to him won't get anywhere.
As for g729, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality.
I may be old fashioned, but the purpose of my phone system is to
communicate voice with other people, mostly in a business environment
(low background noise). MY perception is that it works very well, much
better than I had anticipated. In fact, it allowed me to drop a nice IP
phone at one of my customers premises that have a less than stellar
internet connection (ulaw was stutter city), with no outbound shaping.
I don't care about what anyone else says, I am impressed with g729 and
if it weren't for 1) the cost of transcoding and 2) the lack of g729 on
FreeBSD I'd be using it more.
Just my (humble) $0.02 CDN

Well, it does to anyone without hearing damage. It sounds
very obviously different.
Different, yes, but to what degree is an entirely subjective judgement.
Ergo, your judgement of "...very obviously different..." is valid only
for you.
Please do not get me wrong that G711u sounds better through the
PSTN.
Thats a given! You can't convert G729 up and down to G711 and expect
the sound quality to be there.
This is meaningless drivel.
Hardly. Each conversion introduces the equivalent of "gen loss". Two
such conversions are easily encountered, especially when dealing with a
third-party network, and will produce (in MY subjective opinion)
positively crappy sound.
Since it doesn't correlate with the impression of even the
developers of
G.729, it *is* bad information. Realistic people know G.729 will be
worse. What they need is meaningful guidance as to just how much.
Yes, and your guidance is oh-so-meaningful.
