Yea, just object and a header file. 

To Alex: Since when is "free" as in GPL-induced trance related to open
source?

Better yet, read your own linked to page.

Or for the lazy, here is the relavent section.
---------------
 It is important to note that this version is not indemnified, which
means that this code can not be used for commercial purposes - it is
restricted to research and prototype development. If commercial
deployment is planned, you must obtain the legal rights through
licensing
----------------------
This VoiceAge G.729 implementation is a derivative work that exists in
the form of object code: a set of native computer instructions readily
executable by a specific processor. The effort required to create the
implementation involved a combination of manual and automatic
translation of reference source code into highly optimized native code.
------------------------

Lets see, only available in object code, must obtain legal rights. No
open source here.
