Actually, I suspect that maybe a flaw in Asterisk, since, IIRC, it does 
not "know" the difference between 5.3 and 6.3 kbps g.723.  IIRC, in 
Asterisk, the G.723 that it knows about is just one or the other, not 
both.  Though I would like to apologize for your delay, the people 
responsible for that product are working hard on trying to get the 
G.723 possibility resolved.
