asterisk users - Mar 2006 - Asterisk Native Sounds - in case you missed it...

Hello everyone,

	I was just looking over some logs, and it appears that there have been 
less than 3,000 downloads for my native Asterisk sounds packages (all 
formats combined).  What gives ;)?

	In my humble opinion, EVERYONE (unless you have your own in a different 
voice/language) that uses Asterisk should be using these prompts.  How 
about a direct link this time:

http://mirror.astlinux.org/sounds/

P.S. - 2/9/2006 are the most recent.

I discussed the native sounds with my boss the other day. We decided not to use
them because there's only 197 sound files out of a total of >1200
installed on the system from asterisk and the asterisk-sounds packages. We
wanted to have a consistent playback quality, rather than have it going up and
down every time Asterisk switched from a ulaw file to a gsm etc.
 
Doug.

For what it's worth, the hardest problem I had was not being able to 
directly FTP them from my Asterisk box. I'm a Linux newbie and had no 
idea how to do that.  I downloaded them to my Windows box, set up 
vsftpd and uploaded them using a GUI FTP client in Windows and only 
then could I use them.

As I said both hear and via PayPal, they were worth all the trouble 
as the voice quality of the prompts improved dramatically.

I have several servers using them, but I only needed to download them
directly from you just once.  I replicated the bits myself.  The magic of
these advanced technologies... ;)

I could go download them a few more times if it would make you feel better.

All kidding aside, I don't think I ever thanked you for doing this.  The
quality is definitely much greater than the original .gsm prompts.

Regards,

Aren't you bothered by the fact that the sound file quality goes up and down
as different sound files are played? It's quite obvious to hear the
difference between a ulaw file and a gsm file.

Aside from a few company specific greetings, the slinear package has all the
sound files we need.
