[Asterisk-Users] Where can i get the g.723 codec?

[Eric Wieling]

The makers of hardphones prolly get their G72x licensing by using a DSP
that already has a license.  The DSP can't be that expensive.  I wish
someone would make a PCI card with something like 8 of these chips on it
and sell it cheap.  Should be pretty easy to build a codec for Asterisk
that uses the DSP card.
