just a suggestion, but why don't you try using RFC2833 dtmf relay
between the cisco and the asterisk box.
use dtmfmode=rfc2833 in sip.conf, and you can also set the dtmf mode
per peer in sip.conf
also, if you use inband dtmf, this would only work with u-law and
a-law, and not g729.
on the cisco, enter
Router(config-dial-peer)# dtmf-relay rtp-nte
in dial-peer configuration mode.
I recently had problems with a cisco gw forwarding pstn dtmf digits to
my asterisk box, and rfc2833(which is what rtp-nte stands for in
cisco's terms) solved it successfully.
