[asterisk-dev] asterisk-gui not recognizing codec_g729a, with patch

[Jim Capp]

Hi Folks,

     I ran into a problem where the g729 codec was not being listed as
an option in the Codec Preferences pop-up.  I narrowed the problem down
to CODECSETTINGS.selectbox_add() looking for 'g729' whereas
load_codecs_fromast() returns 'g729a' for the Digium G729 codec.

I checked asterisk-gui/branches/1.4 and asterisk-gui/trunk and could not
find any recent commits that led me to believe this was being addressed.

I patched load_codecs_fromast() to substitute 'g729' for 'g729a' and
have enclosed this patch.  If I had write access to a trunk, I'd commit
it myself.  But since no ones knows me (yet), I am submitting this patch
for review.
