Strictly technically speaking, yes. There are open source implementations of G.723 and G.729. The ILBC codec is available for free personal use. However, it may not be legal for you to use those codecs and for legal reasons, we cannot distribute them together with Afelio. For legal advice please consult an attorney specialised in intellectual property law. In the medium term, we intend to include a socket based codec interface which will make it easier to use commercial implementations of patented codecs.
