Location/Physical Bandwidth question

I found the following in a CCO doc:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a008011b432.html

"For purposes of location bandwidth calculations only, assume that each call stream consumes the following amount of bandwidth:

G.711 call uses 80 kbps

G.723 call uses 24 kbps

G.729 call uses 24 kbps

GSM call uses 29 kbps

Wideband call uses 272 kbps

Note   Each call comprises two call streams. To improve voice quality, lower the bandwidth setting, so fewer active calls are allowed on the link to this location. Entering a value of zero allocates infinite bandwidth and allows an unlimited number of calls on the link."

***Do the statements "each call stream consumes the following amount of bandwidth" & "each call comprises two call streams" mean that a G.729 call can take up more that 24kbps (48kbps) in physical bandwidth?

I have done testing in a lab and confirmed that I can make G.729 calls with a location set to 24k and a G.711 call with 80k, but based on the information above this is only for one call stream.

Thank you in advance!
