I have the following setting in sip.conf :

g726nonstandard = no          ; If the peer negotiates G726-32 audio, 
use AAL2 packing
                                 ; order instead of RFC3551 packing 
order (this is required
                                 ; for Sipura and Grandstream ATAs, 
among others). This is
                                 ; contrary to the RFC3551 
specification, the peer _should_
                                 ; be negotiating AAL2-G726-32 instead

(so it uses RFC3551)

Only when I configure my Grandstream to use only G726 (I have 8 
choices), I see that the g726-codec is used.
When I configure 7 x g726 and 1 x alaw, then again alaw is used !

Is it normal that Asterisk has such a great preference for alaw ?! The 
moment the peer suggests codec alaw (even if it is last choice), alaw is 
chosen by Asterisk for the communication.



Kind regards,
