                <br>
                So, what is the best "compressed" format to use for
                recording voice (that is available as a direct recording
                format inside freeswitch)? There are tons of formats
                listed when I do "show file", but I tried a few and they
                are also giving me large files like the wav extension
                did. (au, for example)<br>
                <br>
                Even though the PCM/Wave format is preferred for voice
                quality, when we're talking about a 10:1 compression
                ratio, if the sound quality is still acceptable, I'd
                rather just record directly into the compressed format.&nbsp;
                We're talking about ~10- 20 minute recordings that will
                need to be transferred over the internet to a third
                party.<br>

                      <br>
                      I &nbsp;then used sox to convert the .gsm file to a

                      at around 17,000 bytes. &nbsp;So, is the default

                      RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, GSM 6.10,
                      mono 8000 Hz<br>
                      <br>
                      So apparently the larger wav file is 16 bit... how
                      are these recording<br>
                      parameters controlled? &nbsp;Can I set it to record
                      directly into the smaller<br>
                      wav format? Or will I have to run sox on every
                      file...<br>
