Thanks for the reply, Adam.
If this is the case, it would seem to me (because the degradation
happens only after a period of time, and quite suddenly) that the issue
lies with digium's implementation of g729.
As an interesting note, I had the same problems using ulaw -> ulaw over
the local network (from internal phone to internal phone) with a much
shorter period of 'good voice' before degradation--which was my reason
for switching to g729, which seemed to solve the problem.
If there is no other current solution, it would seem to me the best
thing to do would be to force g729 for non PSTN connections, and ulaw
(im in the US) for calls going out the PRI. Has anyone done this..?
I'm still hoping to be able to stick with g729; anyone else experience
this kind of issue?
