Summary:                    SIP response 415 "Unsupported Media Type" when using
G729
Description: 
Using Asterisk 1.4.25.1

Grandstream IP-phone has codecs G729, alaw, GSM.
Zoiper softphone has codecs alaw, GSM.

sip.conf peer definition grandstream :
disallow : all
allow : G729;alaw;GSM

sip.conf peer definition zoiper :
disallow : all
allow : alaw;GSM

When calling from zoiper softphone to Grandstream, the codec used is
alaw.

When calling from Grandstream to Zoiper, the call fails with SIP response
415 "Unsupported Media Type".

Why is it that Asterisk does not negotiates about the alaw-codec between
the Grandstream, Asterisk itself and the Zoiper softphone.

Is it normal behaviour that when one of the 2 SIP endpoints does not have
a G.729 license and Asterisk does not hold the license to translate from
G729 codec to another, the call fails ?

Are you using the 'directmedia' or 'canreinvite' option in sip.conf?
