I use Digium's Licensed Codec and I have no problems in routing calls to
either E1 or T1 interfaces.
But ...beware of the Pitfalls in using non-standard G729 Codecs.

I used a couple of sets before and here are the problems I found (I have not
used Daniels codec though):
1) Calls are too noisy and not at all readable
2) Calls disconnect as soon as connect
3) Calls required re-invite
4) Connectivity Timeouts
5) Authentication failures
6) E1 Gateways cannot decipher the calls

I have gone back to my limited user Digium License from the free G729 and I
could not be happier.

I will give Daniels' codec a try if  more people confirm (mainly those who
have successfully ran it on Fedora Core2) that this hack really works.
