I guess this puts some extra load on the server.

Your phone call is running at 8kHz, Your sound file is 11025 and they don't match, If you were to play this file into an 8k channel without a resample it would sound a little like satan. or a dragging tape deck. The file has to be resampled to match the current session rate. </div><div><br></div><div>/b</div><div><br></div></body></html>
