The narrow band codec from GIPS (narrowband iLBC) is free to use, and
already included in Asterisk. Therefore, I assume you are talking about
the wideband GIPS codec (wideband iLBC) which must be purchased, and
which Skype uses. The key issue is that right now Asterisk is rather
narrowband oriented. So far, I don't think any work has been done to
make it work with wideband codecs.
