Yes, install both g729 and ulaw/alaw prompts to avoid trans-coding altogether.

Not sure if this will help anyone else but I wrote a small script to convert the sound files in my uk folder to g729 using asterisk (with some help from the net).

The script is below, thanks Kenny

for i in `ls -R /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/uk/*wav`;  # do recursive ls and only list wav files and loop through each one
     do # start do loop
     CONV=`echo $i|sed 's/.wav/.g729/g'` # set CONV variable as filename with wav swapped for G729
     asterisk -rx "file convert $i $CONV" # run convert command placing original filename and new filename in command
     done # end loop
