There are a lot of Dialogics out there and I just needed compativility with it's 8 bit wav and 4bit vox and I will submit it to the GIT so others who need that compatibility can use it. When I first started with 2 phone lines, I had a 286 with 40mb disk. When you have a few thousand files you can copy, convert and not worry about it. When you have a million, not so fast... I want to have both Dialogic and FS running side by side and sharing messages. I am just not a fan of converting gigabytes of files, then find that I am up the creek without a paddle-something goes wrong..I wanted to rewrite my program in a modern language like C#, instead of continuing with ancient C,that I started with 20 years ago. 16 bit wav, do sound better at 4x the storage. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Underwood" <steveu@coppice.org> To: <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Sent: Friday, July 01, 2011 7:21 AM Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] change sounds file format of voicemail

I am doing testing and I am about to submit changes to the GIT to allow 8000x8 bit wav and 8000x4bit vox recording. What formats would you like to 8000x8 bit is a really stupid choice. A-law or u-law would do a far better job, despite being lossy codecs. The dynamic range of 8 bit line audio just isn't enough for speech. 8000x4bit vox made sense in the 90s, because Dialogic used it, and they were big in IVRs. It seems a very obsolete choice these days.
