Technically speaking, yes you can. There are open source implementations of G.723 and G.729. The ILBC codec is available for free personal use. However, for legal reasons, we cannot distribute these codecs together with CallWeaver. You will need to find, download and build them yourself. Please note that in most parts of the world you can only legally use G.723 and G.729 if you have paid royalites for the patents. For legal advice you should consult an attorney specialised in intellectual property law.
