Hi Eric,
You can actually get boards like this already from companies like Mapletree.
Its a hardware pci carrier card where you add the number of DSP modules that you need.
This hardware may be a bit 'high end' for most users on this list but several people seems to address this issue pretty often. One card may be equipped with dsp's to handle
488 simultanoeus sessions in any mix of supported codecs(incl. G.723.1 and G729..).
I whish that I had the time to make the 'glue logic' thats needed to connect the
* codes api with Mapletree busmastering codecs channels.
P.S. I am NOT a Mapletree salesperson.
-The makers of hardphones prolly get their G72x licensing by using a DSP -that already has a license. The DSP can't be that expensive. I wish -someone would make a PCI card with something like 8 of these chips on it -and sell it cheap. Should be pretty easy to build a codec for Asterisk -that uses the DSP card.

>From what I remember when I looked into this about a year ago, this isn't even the end of it, since whilst DSPG represent /most/ of the IP holders on the codec, there are still others, and if you want to be completely sure of being legally in the clear, then you must reach seperate licensing arrangements with them....
If only some of the hard-phones would use Speex or similar, then all these problems would Go Away, and the production costs for the phones could drop, giving the manufr. the same amount of margin, but at a
lower
market cost.
Cheers, Gavin.
