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.
