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

[Asghar Mohammad]

Hi,
no you don't need just allow g729 on both peers or allow all on both peers
and enable only g729 on softphones.
my asterisk in middle  don't have g729 and g723.1 on my asterisk but my
both end point have these codecs i just allowed the codes and it works
perfectly.
