Have you tried posting on the Asterisk-users mailing list or the digium forums?

This is not really a VICIDIAL issue.

Also

do you know using g729 codecs in a commercial settings violates digium's rights?

Support asterisk, get a licensed one. Heck they gave us asterisk which is free.

boss op3r, the poster said he's just tryin' it hehehe.

@asterisk_at_my_risk
You should consider buying licenses if you are going to use g729 for commercial purposes just like mr op3r said. You'll get support from it as well.

and also if you use VICIDIAL, there's no way that you arent using it for non commercial purposes. hehehehee
