While G711 gives terrific quality, it is not always thatfeasible for the upload direction, which has much more limited bandwidth. Accordingly, it would be possible to use G729 for upload, but keep the higher quality codec, G711, for download.I do not know a great deal about IAX so I will defer to the experts for the definitive word on whether it is possible from the point of view ofits formal protocol mechanics. However, poking around the various configuration options for IAX peerson voip-info.org and a few other places suggests that there is no optionto do that with IAX, either. It's not really something 99.9% of VoIP users want to do. :-)
I think you will find that it may work with Asterisk's IAX implementation.
The protocol expects the 2 ends to agree a single symmetrical codecas part of the connection setup, but it doesn't define what actually happens if the codec specified in the first (full frame) voice packet isn't what was agreed.
I have a vague memory that if the codec is one that is allowed, asterisk does
'the right thing' issues a warning and uses what it was given.But, as Alex says, there is no clear way to define this in the config files.
You would probably do better to use Speex in both directions, but set the encoding quality
(in codec.conf )parameters to be different at the 2 ends. The speex decoder should at the far end
should be fine with that. see http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+codecs.conf Tim. Tim Panton - Web/VoIP consultant and implementor www.westhawk.co.uk
