[asterisk-users] G.729 and Voicemail

[Gordon Henderson]

While we're on the subject of G.729...

I can end to end use it with no transcoding, but voicemail is the main 
sticking point for me - I'd need to transcode.

So why can't voicemail store the audio in the format it's being streamed 
in on?

Is there a technical reason for no voicemail storage in G.729? We have 
prompts in G.729, so why not the messages? It doesn't have to mix 
anything, just store the incoming audio...
