Distorted audio with g722

We got some feedback from Kevin Fleming (Asterisk) and Steve Underwood (author of SpanDSP). Both Asterisk and FreeSWITCH use Steve's g722 implementation and according to tho their answers, that g722 implementation doesn't shift those last 2 bits, instead it uses the first 14.

I did the following tests: 
  - Reverted r2342 and called ZipDX wideband demo. Audio was ok. 
  - Reverted r2342 and played back a g722 file in Asterisk 1.6.2. Audio was ok.

If I applied r2342 the audio was distorted and overdriven so you got it right, this is the issue.

I truly don't know the current status of other implementations but with the ones I tried (couldn't try FreeSWITCH, but according to Steve it's the same as Asterisk) r2342 makes audio quality not good.

As I don't know if this can be detected at runtime, I suggest this fix was applied according to a configuration option (if possible) or a define which can be selected at compile time. What are your thoughts on this?
