Indeed I did.  I was rushing off to a meeting and opened the wrong email
from Kevin to reply to.  Thanks for noticing, otherwise this might have
been buried (the other thread needed to die, and I applaud Digium's
response)

So for complete clarity, this report concerns the proper and only 
Digium G729 codec, located on the Digium FTP site, built for Asterisk 
1.4

I've had a chance to run a few more tests.  I disabled transcode via
SLIN and tried a few more calls.  Any transcoding between endpoints
(G729<->ULAW) results in a load white-noise like static with no 
discernable traces of the original audio signal.  A G729 call into
a MeetMe room results in an instant segfault.
