[Asterisk-Users] g711 ulaw vs alaw

[Eric Bishop]

Hi All,

Can someone explain to me the difference between g711's ulaw and alaw
codecs? Is it just different header info or is the actual payload in
each encoded differently? I have thus far noe been able to find any
difinative  information onthe matter. All I've managed to find out
that they are "similar", they sound the same and that it doesn't
matter which you use. Could someone knowledgable please enlightmen me?
