[Freeswitch-users] absolute_codec_string not working

[Michael Jerris]

FreeSWITCH knows about g729 just fine.  you shouldn’t be using proxy.  Check out the page i referenced below for information on how to accomplish it, Proxy media mode is not the way you want to use for sure.

It should ONLY be used in the case where you are trying to pass codecs we don’t know about at all.  Take a look at the codec negotiation page on freeswitch.org/confluence <http://freeswitch.org/confluence>  and I think you will find your answers.  I don’t think you need a custom mod looking for events with what you have described so far.
