I tried your suggestion and went up to a value of 512. Latency was too high 
and media quality didn't improve much. However it improved to a level that 
it seemed that audio frames from the 2 different (G729) calls are 
"interfering". There were 2-3 of us here and all of us are quite sure that 
the 2 streams are somehow "interfering". Point to note - only one call is 
granted mic and speaker at a time which is the last call made. This is 
happenning and can be seen in the log.

19:28:33.171 conference.c Port 0 (Primary Sound Capture Driver) stop 
transmitting to port 1 (sip:+18007860404 at 208.109.178.168)
19:28:33.171 strm021ADBC4 Start talksprut..
19:28:33.171 conference.c Port 4 (sip:+18009363500 at 208.109.178.168) 
transmitting to port 0 (Primary Sound Capture Driver)
19:28:33.171 conference.c Port 0 (Primary Sound Capture Driver) transmitting 
to port 4 (sip:+18009363500 at 208.109.178.168)

I had first made a call to 18007860404 and then to 18009363500. As seen, it 
takes 'focus' away from the first call and gives it to the latest (2nd call 
here) call.

Since CPU doesn't look like the issue and increasing 
PJMEDIA_SOUND_BUFFER_COUNT hasn't helped, maybe something is wrong with our 
G729 integration. We integrated g729 using g711.c as a 'working example'. It 
works fine for single g729 calls at a time.

Is there anything we should do for integration which is not evident from the 
g711 source (g711.c)?

BTW, we dont use PJMEDIA's plc or vad feature for G729.
