[asterisk-biz] G.729 Transcoding on a Cell Processor

[Peter Briffett]

Integration modules for Asterisk, FS etc are released under appropriate OS
licenses (GPLv2 for Asterisk) and communicate with the Howler FrameServer (a
separate process that runs on the same server and contains our optimised
codecs).  

We plan to support additional signal processing functions and codecs in the
forthcoming months.
