Asterisk can passthrough some codecs, like G.722 in test-this-branch.

But they are not VOIP devices, so they don't communicate with Asterisk
directly.

The codec numbers are not relevant except for over IAX2 frames. Over RTP
the codec number is assigned by the IANA or randomly assigned from the
dynamic number pool.

We don't license G.729 from VoiceAge any longer (haven't for a while).
If customers demonstrate adequate demand for AMR, I'm sure we would
consider it.

There are tons of codecs that we could add this 'token' support  
for, and

the current methods of defining them and selecting them have finite
limits as to the number of formats we can support.

How about a wildcard codec, so we can at least not use
ones that will get allocated, or a 'meta' codec with some formal  
extension

mechanism.



I don't think it is likely that we will just start adding 'format  
types'

for formats that will never be in the tree.


Erm, given Digium's ability to sell the 729 codec, any chance
Digium would be licensing AMR (also from voiceage)?

It would be very nice, if AST_FORMAT_G722 constant also would be added to
frame.h

frame.h for AMR (wide and narrow?)


I know that an implementation won't get into the core code, but  
(like) g729 it would
be good if folks with appropriate licenses could interoperate, rather  
than everyone

making up their own numbers.

Thanks.

Tim.
