<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">To my knowledge there is currently no free version of the g729 codec. There were some spec builds but those were just for testing if I recall correctly. Each version of the codec that we have always gotten has been compiled for each version of asterisk. I would just buy the Digium licenses for the codec and not mess with it. That way you are legal and have support if you need it.<br />

I'm going to guess you aren't going to get a lot of help on a list<br />
hosted by Digium on how to use a potentially illegal codec...<br />
<br />
That said, "ast14" in the filename might signify what the problem is.<br />
The APIs likely changed for modules between 1.4 and 1.8.<br />
