[asterisk-users] g729 problem

[Benoît Mérouze]

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem with trixbox and asterisk 1.2.11. That 
looks to be a bug in this release of asterisk. When using one channel 
with one license, I had the message "Out of G.729 Encoder Licenses!" (in 
/var/log/asterisk/full).
And once the call finished, the command 'show g729' indicates the 
licence is still in use (but there is no active channel ...).

I've upgraded to zaptel-1.9.1 and asterisk 1.2.12.1 and I have no more 
problem !
