Ok, two suggestions:

1. modify your codec allow= statements in the [general] section (!!!) and 
make sure that g.729 is not listed as the first option.

2. make use of the ${SIP_CODEC} variable and create a dialplan that 
allows you to modify this as needed (e.g. store the codec preference for 
your extsion in AstDb so that it can be looked up your next regular 
call). Be aware that you might have to use _SIP_CODEC instead if you are 
working with CVS to make it "stick" (see also ImportVar() app).

Cheers, Philipp
