I'm not sure where the bandwidth figures you are using come from, but be
aware that the bandwidth figure quoted for codecs are just the raw
payload types. Depending upon the number of frames per codec, the actual
bandwidth used can be nearly 150% of the raw bandwidth figures.

For more information, see http://www.openh323.org/docs/bandwidth.html

From that, page I can see that an audio only connection with single
frame per packet GSM actually uses 29.2kps.
