[asterisk-users] Setting up skype

[Julian Lyndon-Smith]

well, aint that a bugger. Just looked at my contacts list on skype and
the bloody thing is working ... wtf ?

Another question: I just tried calling in like this

external => ddi => dial(skype)

and got a load of static with

 WARNING[15328]: channel.c:3098 set_format: Unable to find a codec
translation path from 0x100 (g729) to 0x8 (alaw)

on the console.

Fired up a sip client, made the same call, and all was ok.

Any clues ?
