Summary:                    DISA "Cannot handle frames in gsm format"
Description: 
When I call into my Asterisk box via a VoIP line (in this case it's
incoming IP from Vitelity using gsm codec) and then try to make an outgoing
DISA call over my PSTN I get the following:

[Nov  1 15:12:54] WARNING[17694]: chan_dahdi.c:8930 dahdi_write: Cannot
handle frames in gsm format
[Nov  1 15:12:54] WARNING[17694]: app_dial.c:1401 wait_for_answer: Unable
to forward voice or dtmf

It looks like asterisk is not converting the gsm frames to whatever it
needs to send over the PSTN.  I never had this problem with the 1.6.x
series but it started as soon as I upgraded to 1.8.0 and dahdi-2.4.0.  My
Asterisk machine has a TDM-410 card installed for the interface to the
PSTN.  Running on Ubuntu server 10.10.  DAHDI and Asterisk compiled from
source tarballs.  Please let me know if I didn't include something that you
need.

Here is the call log of the failed DISA call:

My sip profile for the incoming vitelity connection has the following
codec related settings:

disallow=all
allow=gsm

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Just upgraded to 1.8.3 from 1.6.2.17 - spun my wheels for 2 hours dialing
our own number with g729 and going straight to voicemail for all dahdi
extensions.  Recommend adding a line for AST_FORMAT_G729A to the final
version of this patch (it worked for us just fine).
