I have installed codec g729 on centos, together with Asterisk 1.6.2.9, and a2billing

My local friends are able to use g729. However, when call out through a2billing, the codec goes out is either gsm or ulaw. I have g729 set as the first priority, ie g729,gsm,ulaw


Below is the output of core show translation


The translation time seems to be very high.
g729 gsm ulaw
g729 – 3000 1001
gsm 4999 – 1001
ulaw 4000 2001 -

how may I force g729 to be the codec sent out to my terminators
