Summary:                    Chanspy Keeps using G729 Encoder licenses even after
the spying channel hangs up.
Description: 
Hi,

We are using Asterisk 1.6.2.9 and running on Cent OS 5.4 x86_64 kernel
2.6.18-194.3.1.el5

We are using G729 for our sip trunks. Our extensions use G729 as well.
When I try to spy on a channel with chanspy, I observe that the G729
licenses keep getting used up but do not get freed up even when I hang up
the Spy / Spying Extension.

Is there any way we can free up the licenses when the spying of a channel
is over?

When I do g729 show licenses I get the following output.. And with every
channel that is spied on, the encoder count keeps increasing but with every
call that is hung up, the encoder count does not decrease.

2/0 encoders/decoders of 16 licensed channels are currently in use
