Asterisk does not support H.324. An Asterisk with patches and  
additions from a third-party source does.

These patches are not official Asterisk patches. The problem here is  
not  really technichal, but a matter
of the definition of the product with the name "Asterisk" - which is  
defined by Digium ;-)

What I would like to see moving forward is a proper H.324 integration  
in chan_dahdi and libpri instead
of tunneling the raw stuff through the whole PBX to an app that  
converts it and sends the streams back.
To me, this kinds of break the Asterisk architecture. It works, but  
isn't scalable. Would be better to have
the streams separated correctly before they're sent in to the core pbx.

There was some development on this going on, but it stopped on the  
issue of finding a properly licensed
and working ASN.1 library with support for the encoding used.

While waiting for that, the work done by fontventa is quite amazing.
