Summary:                    SLIN/SLIN16 translation path is not optimal
Description: 
Without libresample installed asterisk can not convert directly between
SLIN and SLIN16, so it uses G.722 as the only path. It's bad, but better
than nothing.

With libresample installed asterisk should use it to directly convert
between SLIN and SLIN16 as that would be the path with the least loss. But,
most of the time asterisk still uses G.722 to translate.

It would be best to include some version of libresample with asterisk 1.8
as there is now a common need for SLIN/SLIN16 conversion.

I don't know if the "cost" is calculated wrong or if there is a need to
pick the best path, even at a higher cost, to reduce loss.
