Amin,
That's an idea I've also been discussing. If you have some time,  
please dive into this and
find out if it's possible, what the licensing is and what kind of API  
we could use for it.

If we could have VLC on a separate machine doing transcoding, that  
would propably
be a solution.

Maybe a generic way to signal that we need RTP with transcoding  
support to an
external device would be a way forward? We still need to be in the  
audio path for
DTMF - so how would we handle RTCP synching in such a scenario?
