It's certainly possible, but there are licensing issues to be worked out
before they could be included in Asterisk.  Given also that we have a limited
number of codecs available, our general policy is that the codec needs to be
implemented in a hardphone before we'll look at provisioning a spot for it.

Better audio quality, sure.  Smaller bandwidth requirement than G.729a?
Really?
