One more question.  I've been trying to figure out the best
combination of codecs to use.    So far it seems that g729 is the low
bandwidth codec most widely supported.  gsm seems to be supported by
providers but not by sip devices.  g726 the opposite.  I'm thinking it
might be worth it to just pay digium to license g729 and record all
our own voice prompts.  Having the g729 license will enable us to
record files in g729 format correct?
