| Description: | Imagine the situation as follows. There is Asterisk#1 which acts as a gateway to the world for Asterisk#2. Asterisk#1 has a context [longdistance] with codec priorities g729,g726,ulaw and Asterisk#2 places a call via Asterisk#1 with codec priority g726,ulaw. By default, Asterisk#1 will try to transcode received g726 into g729 before it goes to the carrier, which accepts all of the mentioned codecs. Obviously the easy way to avoid transcoding is to create a separate peer in the configuration of Asterisk#1, which would have codecs in the priority of g726,ulaw but wouldn't it be simpler and smarter to tell Asterisk how to treat such situations? I suggest something along the lines of: [longdistance] disallow=all allow=g729 allow=g726 allow=ulaw codec_priority=(mine|peer) where codec_priority would dictate the logic of how codecs are chosen. Value of "mine" would force the priority of g729,g726,ulaw, value of "peer" would allow for priority g726,ulaw. | ||
