[Freeswitch-users] mod_amr transcoing for testing purposes

[Steven Ayre]

In that case the same issue would go for FreeSWITCH too...?

I guess that's why mod_amr is still passthrough-only despite all the
fantastic work that was put into mod_com_g729, otherwise it presumable
would have been very easy to have the same license server code reused
for AMR.
