Well... there's a problem- ffmpeg can't figure out the input codec*. Did the 
file extension come as .wav or was it changed from something else? A quick 
google search (took me a minute) suggests that you may need to insert "-f 
g729" before the "-i". Also, that g729b isn't supported at all.
  Please verify whether that file is raw g729 or g729 in a wav container 
(can that even work?). Also that it's really g279.

*this is why the command output should always be included
