No, you can't.  I suspect this was part of the reason that the VoIP
Blaster was discontinued by Creative Labs (i.e. lack of
interoperability).

It means that Asterisk may blindly pass the audio from one client to
another, but it will not do any transcoding (such as would be needed
to go from a VoIP Blaster to the PSTN or to any other device which
does not support G.723).
