I'm just about to rush out, so I'll be looking at Google later. If you have a
good link with details on the differences between the codecs that woul be
great. I can choose which of the three to use then, and think about what to use
on the impending Asterisk box (assuming I can use different between server and
client and server and provider, which seems to make sense to me at the
moment!).
