[Asterisk-Users] Endpoint-to-Endpoint RTP Packets

[Eric Wieling]

Codecs are always an issue.  Best to put disallow=all and
allow=whatevercodecyouwant in each [sipuser] entry.  You can't have
Asterisk do codec translation (transcoding) bewteen g729 and some other
codec unless you have the g729 licenses (US$10/channel from Digium).

Transcoding would be required for access to ANY of the asterisk sound
files, voicemail and PSTN via Zap interfaces.
