asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Audio level in compressed wav files

Anybody know an easy way to adjust audio level of recordings made in 
Asterisk (using the 'record' application)?  I've noticed that
recordings
using the "wav" format are about twice the level of those made using 
"WAV" or "wav49". Unfortunately, the "wav"
recordings are uncompressed
and about 10 times the size of the other formats.

Take a look at sox (type man sox at the command prompt if sox it installed
for details on the options available).  There is a "vol" argument that
allows you to adjust the gain.  If this is what you need, you can call sox
after record (using the system command) to adjust the gain.

Well the problem isn't so much a problem as it is just the way these things 
work.  Compressed files have smaller bytes, so they are quieter than the 
uncompressed variety.
