Voiceage have for several years had something called Open G.729. This is 
like the use of the term Open Systems in the early 90s - a term designed 
to distract attention fom the reality of it being totally closed. There 
is no source, and the last time I looked it would only run on Windows. 
It may only be used for experimental purposes, and is pretty much as 
open as a welded shut box.
