[Asterisk-bsd] Re: Which g729 driver?

[Chris Stenton]

Well if the IPP code core dumps then the chances are the digium one is 
better. Its based on the annex A  source code. If I remember all they have 
done to speed it up is to use some inlining.  I  tried the annex B code 
which seemed to be stable enough with no crashes but its slower than annex A 
and not sure if I noticed any difference in quality may be its slightly 
better on background noise?

Re real systems would be interesting to know who uses it in anger.

my system is small   six phones, flash panel linked to vtiger crm. Number of 
crashes in the last five months zero - running cvs head on FreeBSD 5.3. 
Anyone else using a crm linked into asterisk I have only just started using 
vtiger and it still has a few issues but is usable!
