FreeSWITCH only supports G.729 in pass-through mode (i.e., with bypass media
enabled). Apparently you can buy a G.729 licence for FreeSWITCH if you really
need it.

My recommendation would be to use a codec other than G.729 unless you have a
compelling reason, for example a carrier that only supports G.729.
