Hi All,
When our users receive a voicemail we send it attached to an email. It used to
work fine, encoded in wav49 and read by Windows media player. Recently the
default player in the company has become VLC which is unable to read wav49. I am
trying to use OGG/VORBIS instead of wav49. I can't get it working:
In voicemail.conf:
format = ogg
The result is as follow:
[Mar 11 09:42:17] WARNING[24867]: format_ogg_vorbis.c:527 ogg_vorbis_seek:
Seeking is not supported on OGG/Vorbis streams!
-- x=0, open writing:
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/0213149689/tmp/V2adNF format: ogg,
0x81ec648
-- User hung up
[Mar 11 09:42:25] WARNING[24867]: format_ogg_vorbis.c:533 ogg_vorbis_tell:
Telling is not supported on OGG/Vorbis streams!
[Mar 11 09:42:25] WARNING[24867]: format_ogg_vorbis.c:514 ogg_vorbis_trunc:
Truncation is not supported on OGG/Vorbis streams!
-- Recording was 0 seconds long but needs to be at least 2 - abandoning
Nothing gets recorded in the file.
Has anybody done this before? Either get ogg work with voicemail or get VLC to
read wav49.
Cheers
vincent

Why don't you just install SOX and convert the file that way? You could
just do a command like this
System(/usr/bin/sox in.ogg out.mp3)

Unless you have to retain the files for a very long time and/or have a huge number of users, I can't see spending the CPU time to compress and decompress something that will probably only be listened to once and discarded. Personally, the increase in fidelity is good enough reason to me. Try "format = wav|wav49" and listen to the files with a decent set of speakers. I know the typical handset approaches two cans and a piece of wet string fidelity wise, but, since you say "attached to an email," your users will hear the difference.
