What do you mean by "isn't a great codec?
There is any major advantage of the G.729 codec over GSM with Asterisk
(except the full hardware support by main players)? Which is more scalable
using the same hardware?
I have done some tests between ATA and 7960, both using G.729 (Asterisk
pass-through ) and the quality is (in my opinion) the same as when using
ATA(G.711)>GSM---IAX---GSM>7960(G.711).

Thanks,
