&gt;&gt; The simplest answer, I purchased one additional license and one<br>
&gt;&gt; simultaneous call is being recorded now. I do not understand why the<br>
&gt;&gt; ulaw codec (or format) is involved here (... No translator path from<br>
&gt;&gt; alaw to unknown ...)<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Any entry will be very appreciated.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; When you say &#39;call&#39;, do you mean a call between two phones (endpoints)? If so, and both endpoints are using G.729 for audio, then yes, recording that call in any format other than G.729 will require *two* G.729 decoders, one for each audio stream being received by Asterisk. Even in a case where you are only recording the combined audio from the two phones (MixMonitor), the audio must still be decoded in order to be mixed.<br>
