there may be a technical issue with that given that the codecs downloaded 
from digium's site would need to check for the licensing information for 
the codec. doing what you require would need two versions of the codec, and 
digium may have a problem in ensuring that folk from the US do not download 
the version without the check.

however, i believe that folk here have made the intel implementation of 
g.729a to work with asterisk, and you could use that where software patents 
or the g.729 license is not required.[1]

[1] i wouldnt think it would stay this way for long, the way software 
patent recognition is being grandfathered in by way of free trade agreements.
