Summary:                    Recording transcoded call with Monitor() uses 4
licenses of G.729
Description: 
When recording a call with Monitor() in the dialplan where one end is ulaw,
and the other G.729, it appears that Asterisk utilizes 4 licenses of G.729
in a single call. There may be some sort of optimization that could be done
here, or perhaps there is a reason this needs to happen?

My guess is that Asterisk is converting the ulaw to g.729 before it hits
Monitor(), and is then converting it back to .wav for recording?
