The carrier insists on G729, although they can accept G711. I think
their call volume does not make it easy on them and their customers as
well.

I did some googling and came up with freeswitch-codec-passthru-g729. I
have also read http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Proxy_Media and
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Bypass_Media.
In my module.conf.xml there is also <load module="mod_g729"/>.

Does that mean that my installlation is configured for pass thru if I
make the right adjustments?

I have looked at
http://www.mail-archive.com/freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org/msg12303.html
and http://www.mail-archive.com/freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org/msg20949.html
which speak of modifying the dialplan.

This is a basic freeswitch setup using the defaults. I just added the
extensions to conf/directory/default and changed the provider in
vars.xml and I want to be able to do the same in
conf/dialplan/default.xml.

In conf/dialplan/default.xml the extension is matched by the
destination. Is there an option for not falling through to other
extensions if they also match?
