[Asterisk-Users] Codec?

[John Todd]

Look in /usr/src/asterisk/include/asterisk/frame.h  and scan down to 
where you see all the codecs listed.  Then, take that number use it 
as a power of 2.  In other words, if the number for G729A is 8, then 
you need to do 8^2 = 25, so 25 will be the number shown in "sip show 
channels" under the "format" column.

John Laur had submitted a really useful patch to turn all instances 
of the codec numbers into codec names.  I've talked to him about 
putting that patch (and other nifty patches of his) into 
bugs.digium.com when he gets back from vacation...
