The bandwidth in the customer's network is sufficiently constrained in one direction that the customer wishes to use G.729/G.729A with G.729B active (ie using VAD/DTX) to allow the speech codec bandwidth requirements in this direction to fit within the network bandwidth envelope. In the other direction, the network bandwidth available is somewhat less constrained, so the customer would like to use G.729/G.729A without G.729B active to get slightly better quality.  
Well, even if you've negotiated it, it doesn't mean you actually have to use it. If the endpoint is smart enough to know whether to negotiate it or not, I suspect it's smart enough to know not to bother using it when the bandwidth is sufficient.

Seems like a corner case, although the general problem of how to do asymmetric codec negotiation probably has more compelling use cases.

In fact, I come across the scenario wherein annexb is not supported by offerer ,mentioned in offer SDP as annexb=no and answerer assumes about annexb support (no annexb parameter in answer) in offerer side which leads to the call failure.
