The question is the question of cost of transcoding. It is not
insignificant or not a simple "gee, wouldn't it be nice". As I've mentioned
earlier it is possible to build a media gateway that will handle encryption
and ICE with the density of a few thousand calls per server CPU. It would
not be possible if G.722 to OPUS transcoding is required. So, the argument
to support G.722 is that it removes the need for transcoding (and
subsequently need for jitter buffering, which introduces delays and
requires even more resources on the media gateway). What is the argument
against it?
