Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Codecs

[Andrea Cerioli <cerioli alternet it>]

I've checked Quicknet cards brochure, and G729A is supported.
However the Quicknet card looks expensive.
If a software codec is not available I'll try Asterisk.
Any help with the configuration will be welcomed.

BTW a software G.729 codec appears to be available for Asterisk
from Digium.
I wonder if that same codec can be used by GnomeMeeting. (?)

Thanks
