This is a very frustrating issue, I've payed for an Asterisk G729a codec license and deployed the associated g729 executable which Digium supplied for use with an Asterisk 1.2 uClibc system. I've now upgraded to Asterisk 1.4 just to find out that Digium have not complied an executable for use with Asterisk 1.4. (not to provide an upgrade path is pretty poor)
Try googling "For those of you who want to test g729a" and folow your nose, just remember g729a is a non- free codec and you need to look at the associated legalities before using an alternate g729 codec (be warned, may be illegal in your country if you don't pay the associated royalty fee) ________________________________________ From: Clara Chan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 22 October 2008 10:08 AM To: AstLinux Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] G729a Codec Oh... sorry.

If it worked at all, it would be against huge odds and then only by fortunate accident. -Philip Clara Chan wrote: > Thanks, Philip, > > Ok.
