[asterisk-users] Asterisk codec strangeness

[Jean-Michel Hiver]

Hi All,

I have two peers (call then peerA and peerB) on my server, both can 
accept g711, g729 and g723. However, when peerA initiates a request, 
asterisk decides to transcode g729 into ulaw when peerB could very well 
use g729...

This behavior isn't very scalable (transcoding is CPU expensive) and 
also it's better to minimize the amount of transcoding wherever 
possible. Is there a way I can fix this?

NB: if i set disallow = all and allow=g729 on peerB it all works fine, 
but then if peerA decides to send ulaw I'm transcoding again...

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
