[Asterisk-Users] G729 - What versions can Asterisk support?

[Tim Karl]

Hello,

I'm trying to find out if Asterisk will support plain G729 or G729b. 
I've read all over that it supports G729, but I can't seem to find any 
explicit remarks regarding the specific versions of the codec Asterisk 
will support.  I noticed that Digium allows Asterisk users to register 
and download G729a, but refers to it as G729 on it's pages. I also 
noticed that on Digium's ftp site (ftp.digium.com), there is a sub 
directory called "old-voiceage" that contains the G729b codec. Our 
company is looking to use the G729 or G729b version because they believe 
it will produce better quality sound than the G729a version. If that is 
true, should I use the version of the coded found on Digium's ftp site 
in the /pub/asterisk/g729/old-voiceage/ directory and register via 
Digium's online Yahoo store? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Thank you in advance :)
