[asterisk-users] any codec passthru mode

[Jaswinder Singh]

Asterisk by default uses the codec preferred by other device/client  .
Asterisk 1.2 ( dunno abt 1.4 specifically)  is not intelligent enough
to check if it can avoid transcoding by forcing same codec on other
side of conversation . If both sides prefer g729 then asterisk does
not do transcoding but if one side prefer gsm and other prefers g729
and the gsm side can also support g729 still asterisk will transcode .
Someone posted a patch to this in mantis bug tracking system at digium
for 1.2 .. google for it and maybe you can find  .
