[asterisk-dev] G.729 codec problem

Hi all.
I'm having this message when using G.729 codec, and the voice is chopped.

frame.c:179 __ast_smoother_feed: Dropping extra frame of G.729 since we already have a VAD frame at the end

Please, how can I fix this?
Is a configuration problem or I have to make a change in Asterisk code ???

Thanks.
Rosa.
