Unfortunately, because the codecs are patented, they can't be 
distributed in binary format. 

However, I'm sure there are plenty of very good programmers on this 
mailing list who will assist you in your evaluation of the code if you 
offer them the appropriate compensation for their efforts (try offering 
cash, beer and pizzas and you'll get a quick response). 

Digium offers a binary implementation of G.729, but they don't give you 
source code and they lock it to your PC's MAC address (so if you blow an 
ethernet card, the codec stops working).
