Actually this sounds like a really nice idea. It would be cool to have a 
way to start using less intensive bandwith codecs for new calls when 
bandwith reaches a certain threshold.

For example:

- 0-40% bandwith: g711
- 40-60% bandwith: g729
- 60%-80% bandwith: g723
- 80%-100% bandwith: drop new calls, or maybe use lpc10

It wouldn't help in SOHO usage but when using Asterisk as a call 
termination gateway, it would help making the most out of available 
bandwith. g711 is certainly better than g729 when you have the bandwith, 
and i'm pretty sure that even lpc10 sounds better when on non-saturated 
bandwith compared with g729 with some packet loss...

How would you go about implementing this?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
