A Dahdi channel over a PRI will always be ulaw - that is the encoding on 
the PRI (at least in the US).  If your phones are using G.729 then 
transcoding will be taking place within asterisk for the bridge between 
the channels.

My guess is you are looking at the PRI channel.  There should be another 
channel for the phone.  That should always be G.729 now.
