If you only need it to be used as passthrough, you don't need any, just 
the format interpreter that comes with asterisk.

It is worth noting that if you have conference calls, you use the Page 
function or want to record calls, then you will need to install a codec 
(since in these situations the call is transcoded inside asterisk).
