[Asterisk-Users] FWD codecs?

[Kevin Bockman]

Unfortunately that didn't work.  I think my problem is that I don't have G729 installed.  I haven't purchased a license for it.  I see this:

[format_g729.so] => (Raw G729 data)

but of course it can't translate is what the error is from.  So what I'm trying to figure out is why FWD on * requires G729, but not on SJPhone or X-Lite.
