[Spce-user] sound sets

[Matthew Ogden]

There does appear to wrappers like this one
(https://www.mail-archive.com/semsdev@lists.iptel.org/msg02355.html) for
Intel IPP g729. But then you would need Intel developer licenses, and we
would to negotiate directly with whomever to get the required licenses or
through some channel you provide to control the licenses... too much
missions I assume, with too little demand.

"Connecting" asterisk to send the early media solve the problem because
it's easy to purchase licenses from Digium for G729 on asterisk, and easy
to add the licenses to Asterisk...
And the music goes "dim dim dimmmmmm", less missions than the first one,
but still missions some missions though... at least the headache wont be
yours for license, and Digium has a big market that isn't going away.
I think technically, its not out of reach for you, and reasonably simple
since its already your own flavour of asterisk, but perhaps too little
demand right now.  It is confusing though for subscribers whose PBXs
aren't setup to play their own sounds (or better yet, the wrong /confusing
sounds).

Out of interest, is g729 not a big thing in Europe (does it not make cost
sense?) - from an economic point of view, it does seem wasteful one day
when the world is sending 1billion*high bandwidth instead of 1billion *
low bandwidth - not to say g729 is right answer, just that, it would seem
on an aggregate level a large amount of wastage might occur.
