Yes it does. Firstly to address the original poster:

CALEA can in this case be implemented by your provider alleviating you 
somewhat. Depending on how you infer legalese.

CALEA outside of sniffing, facilitates recording information (CDR's 
etc.) , so setting up a designated machine (syslog perhpas) and saving 
the logging information(/var/log/asterisk/*) from Asterisk will likely 
suffice.
