Martin, Gaurav,

One important correction to what Martin wrote:
annexb=yes is assumed even if the annexb parameter is not present. This is the 
default. So if you
don't support G.729B - you must declare annexb=no. Otherwise the other party is 
expected to send you
SID frames that you wouldn't be able to decode.

See RFC3555:
        annexb: indicates that Annex B, voice activity detection, is
        used or preferred.  Permissible values are "yes" and "no"
        (without the quotes); "yes" is implied if this parameter is
        omitted.

Thanks
Uzi
