Huh ?

G711.u / G711.a <=> signed linear transcoding is a trivial table lookup with
no arithmetic workload whatsoever. It does not represent the CPU-intensive
transcoding operations such as G729 / iLBC / speex, which could benefit from
GPU implementations, nor any video codec.

A GPU implementation of G711<=>linear transcoding is probably wasting more
instructions to transfer data from and to the GPU board than required to
perform the transcoding in loco.
