[Freeswitch-users] setting recording codec

Hello, I could not find any documentation on this subject. I require to have a recording of an a-law wav file (RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, ITU G.711 A-law, mono 8000 Hz). Can I set a variable that tells the record command what type of codec to store the file with ? I know how to convert a normal wav recording into it using ffmpeg (for example): $ ffmpeg -i 0.wav -ar 8000 -ac 1 -acodec pcm_alaw 0-alaw.wav But I wish to avoid it, if I can use the record app, or use the uuid_record API for it. Thanks, Ido
