I had read that the Asterisk 13 config changes were likely to affect many
users, but that wasn't on my mind. Thanks for mentioning it!
Yeah, I'm not wild about the details of Opus either but it's the only way I can
use "HD" voice with the hardware I've got, so I figure I'll give it a whirl
pretty soon. I just bought some unlockable $10 Vonage-branded Grandstream
HT-802 ATAs which were too enticing to pass up! If you're interested in
messing with that, the details of the unlocking method are available on page 2
of this thread:
https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30988922-Unlock-New-Grandstream-ATA-used-by-Vonage-Unlocked
It requires a serial cable with 3.3V logic and actually didn't even require
soldering since you can easily stick individual pin headers in the three
appropriate holes (TX RX and GND). I'm comfortable with those methods so the
actual process took me about 5 minutes, but reading the entire thread and
digesting all of the information (which I've learned to do when unlocking a
device I don't want to accidentally brick) took considerably longer.

Josh,
To be clear, upgrading the base system to Asterisk 13 is easy, but you will
have to tweak your Asterisk configuration.
This URL, at the end look for "Upgrade Note for Asterisk 11 -> 12" and Upgrade
Note for Asterisk 12 -> 13 ...
Asterisk LTS Series Version
https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:tt_asterisk_upgrade_version
If you built your own custom AstLinux image with Asterisk 13, you could add to
a finished build the proper downloaded binary blobs from Digium
"format_ogg_opus.so" and "codec_opus.so" to their proper location at
output/target/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ and quickly rebuild with
./scripts/build . Never tried it, those Opus binary blobs send shivers down my
spine. :-)
