[asterisk-users] is g729 codec free? or under license???

[Asghar Mohammad]

HI,
You don't need a g729 installed in pass throw mode. if both ends have codec
g729 you can just enable on both peers.
and asterisk should pass the codec from 1 end to other.
but make sure you are not doing transcoding of any type answering the call
playing voice prompts etc.
