asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Silence on incoming monitored calls

I am currently recording incoming calls using the monitor application. 
Problem is it is recording silence for the ringing portion of the SIP 
call. We really would like it to commence from the beginning of the 
conversation. Is there any way to do this?

Also, I tried setting monitor to record the files in GSM format but 
Windows Media Player will not play it back, does not recognise it as a 
valid file. I have played GSM files back with out any problems in the 
past with our old logging system. Any ideas?

Cheers
Nick

Answer the line, then ring the extension.

A gsm file is just raw gsm data. Use sox to convert to a wav file so
windoes will understand it. I also think a wav49 file is a wave with GSM
data.
