I never suggested that Digium's codec stops working permanently - I just 
said it stops working - that is not FUD, it is something they have 
deliberately chosen to implement. 

I am not discrediting that, just pointing it out so people can make an 
informed choice about which codecs they use (and which implementations 
of each codec).  The smart thing to do is obviously avoid G.729 if possible.
