asterisk users - Aug 2009 - MixMonitor and Transcoding..

Can't find an answer to this, but maybe I've not looked hard enough ...

Does MixMonitor work without transcoding?

ie. if I have a g729 stream passing through and I'm recording it with

e.g. MixMonitor(/dump/filename.g729,b)

and specify g729 in the filename, does MixMonitor transcode both legs of 
the stream to a format it can then "mix" then transcode it back to
g729 to
write to disk?

Thanks,

Gordon

Ah well - Rather than try to read about it, I tried to do it - and 
failled. It wants to transcode to slin - or at least I guess that's what 
this means:

   Aug 11 17:50:04 WARNING[30573]: channel.c:1212 queue_frame_to_spies:
 		Cannot build a path from g729 to slin

Bother.

Transcoding is something that's not an option here. Hm. Maybe old 
fashioned 'monitor' and offline mixing although I'm open to
suggestions
here..
