asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Recording voice messages in mp3 format

Hi,
	Is there a way so that I can record the voice messages in mp3 format 
instead of wav? I think it is much smaller in size compare to wav. It 
is also easier to send small sized file as an attachment. Currently 
when my users record voice messages the format is wav. Where can I 
configure it so that it will become mp3?

Thanks,
Ryan

You'll find the GSM codec renders smaller filesizes.

Are you using wav or wav49? You can check in 
/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf under the format option... wav49 creates 
much smaller files than normal wav and doesn't need a special player 
like gsm files would and as far as using mp3, I'm not sure how to go 
about that.
