The clues are in the documentation; SkypeIn and SkypeOut use G.729 for
nearly all calls, so handling calls via those paths requires a G.729
transcoder on the system if the target of the call will not also be
using G.729. This is why the Skype For Asterisk license includes
licenses for Digium's G.729 software transcoder as well.
