[asterisk-users] Transcoding question

[Jim Dickenson]

We are getting ready to install a client that uses g729 when talking to their SIP provider to minimize bandwidth usage. We are going to want to be able to record the calls using AMI monitor actions into wav sound files. All the phones are soft phone running on Windows XP systems.

Questions I have are what would the best codec be to have the soft phone use since, as I understand it, in order to mix the audio something will need to be transcoded. Can a two CPU quad core xeon 2GHz system handle the transcoding load or would if be better to have a daughter card handle the transcoding.
