G711 is 64kbs so my guess is to do 8000 RAW or WAV in PCM 8bits. If you send me the file I can try it. If you put a .wav extension on it doesn't Freeswitch play it? spx may not be doable with sndfile, but I don't know it's real format..who knows. The supported formats are here: http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ and in the source sndfile.h VOX is not listed there but it records and plays now by using RAW|VOX_APCM format, but that's not the only VOX format out there. The thing is all these file extensions could have different formats so you have to know what you have.

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 use?..maybe I can add them before I submit. This is my test extension and it works with my modifications: Kris <extension name="playtest">

Where can I force voicemail to use sounds other than .wav ?

Thanks

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

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.

Would this work with general recording to a file, or is it just for voicemail? Can we record to, or have voicemail record to, compressed formats? Bryan On Jun 29, 2011, at 3:05 PM, Kris wrote:
