Has anyone needed a coded that Asterisk does not natively support, such as MELPe or CVSD? If so, did you find a pure software solution and provided that as an addition to Asterisk? Was that solution successful? Has using an I/F card with a DSP proved to be the better solutions? We are beginners with Asterisk so any help/advice on how to best implement non-native Codecs into Asterisk will be welcome.

For those codecs an interfaced DSP might be the only option due to lack of, or expensive software options. I had an easier time looking into MELPe than I did with CVSD, so I looked around just a little bit to satiate my curiosity https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.compandent.com/MELPePackageFactSheetPOSIX.pdf CPU usage looks a little high. 4% of a 3.2ghz P4 to encode How many calls do you think will need to get transcoded at the same time at a given server? With asterisk the g729 codec has hardware and software options so people have a choice as to how much g729 they get.
