afaik Laurent submitted a patch and a bug was filed about him
submittign it on gst-plugins-bad but in git history I don't see any
commit about g729 so far.

Sorry for the trivial question, but.. what are you referring about
"the existing ones" are there other g729 gstreamer implementations I
didn't notice? A global join could give us some very nice stuff..

so we have at least one working proof of concept.

Even if at a beta stage, ORC deserves to give it at least a try. I'll
follow the examples and, if needed, join the IRC channel to annoy some
skilled gstreamer developer.

Thank you for the answer,
