direct us in achieving as much as possible. For example:<br>
* What linux command can we use to convert all recording to G729<br>
* Which files do we need to convert and there locations<br>
* For *testing* how do we make sure Asterisk NEVER EVER transcodes.<br>
<br>
Do we still need the G729 codec installed on the asterisk machine if<br>
we manage to implement pass-through that would suffice our needs.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
