similar to: playing wav49/gsm files on linux?

I would like to convert a file to WAV49 for use with Asterisk using the linux command line. Specifically I would like to upload sounds to use for unavail.wav and busy.wav, but I'd like them to be compressed so that space is not wasted. I tried using SOX but havent found the correct command-line options to make it or Asterisk happy. Ideas?

Interesting. I downloaded and installed both HelixPlayer-0.4.0.187-20040615.i586.rpm and RealPlayer-0.4.0.186-20040615.i586.rpm on my Mandrake 10.0 system. With hxplay, the theora sample video, Mixtape.small.ogg, played as well as it does with mplayer 1.0pre4, which is reasonably well. But when I tried to watch it with realplay, the program choked and died. Also, when I tried to watch

Someone submitted a bug about wav49 voicemail problems with the Windows Media Player here http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000254 bkw918 changed the status of the bug to resolved because he could not reproduce the error with his version of Windows Media Player. I am having the same problem as the original bug poster. I am using WMP 9.00.00.3075 running on Windows XP and using

There's a been a long standing issue with voicemail volume levels for files saved in WAV49 format as compared to WAV format. WAV49 is much smaller in emails and that's great, but it's also less than half the volume level than the exact same voicemail saved in WAV format. I've seen this mentioned by several others over the years in the mailing list -- has there been any

Hi, I tried to find a reference in terms of size but got back a bunch of tech documents and couldn't get the idea of wav49 format. wav49 format is supposed to be half the size of a normal wav right? so, how much disk space takes to save one minute of audio in wav49? I trying to do some capacity planning for a voicemail server. -- ------------------------------------------------------------

I have the voicemail format set to wav49 in my voicemail.conf file. When retrieving voicemails, the first message plays back ok - but then Asterisk hangs up and the log shows the following error. Any idea what's up? May 19 12:57:24 VERBOSE[7860]: Asterisk Ready. May 19 13:48:51 WARNING[7860]: Not a wav file 49 May 19 13:48:51 WARNING[7860]: Unable to open fd on

android email will not play wav49 file attachments. See: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1712 Now I'm getting a lot of pressure to change the format used in voicemail. Here's what I've got: format = wav49|gsm I'd like to change it to format = gsm|wav49, but the voicemail.conf.sample says "Don't Change the Format Unless You REALLY Know What

Does anyone know what options you need to use with "sox" to output the audio in the WAV49 format that Asterisk uses.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a utility which will let me determine the length (in seconds) of a wav49 file created by Asterisk? Many thanks, Malcolm

I'm trying to get call parking working with the lighted buttons on the SNOM 200. I have set the 5 buttons to "Park Orbit", for extensions 700-704. Pressing the first button (x700) does park the call. However, the remaining buttons (x701-704) don't allow me to pick up parked calls, or show parking status via the LEDs. I can only pick up parked calling by manually dialing the

Hi all, I'm running 1.6.2.0-rc6, and I'm running into a problem: sometimes the audio vanishes in the middle of listening to an IVR background prompt. This happens with both analog (Digium card) and IAX2 incoming calls. The prompts are stored in ulaw format (and the IAX2 calls use ulaw). The asterisk console claims that the IVR prompts are proceeding in the expected fashion, but I

With Asterisk 1.4 I could use commands like: /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "sip notify reboot-snom mjc_home" to reboot a snom phone. Now, with 1.6, when I try that, I get: Unable to find notify type 'reboot-snom' Command 'sip notify reboot-snom mjc_home' failed. Do I need to add some magic to sip_notify.conf? I haven't quite figured out how to make it work. - Mike

Hi, Is it possible to use the hint priority to allow call parking slots to be monitored on (for example) Snom indicator lamps? How do you refer to the slots (i.e., what is the "channel") in the hint? - Mike

Hi all, I currently have an Asterisk test server behind a TZ170 Sonicwall firewall / NAT box, with several DIDs. I've found that inbound IAX2 calls don't work reliably (i.e., I get a busy tone) unless I enable "Use Consistent NAT" in the Sonicwall. This feature is poorly documented by Sonicwall, so I thought I'd pass it along. Has anyone else run into this, or figured

Hi all, One of my users reports frequently hearing echo on her Snom 360 phone, even while talking to other Snom phones (via Asterisk) on the same LAN (i.e., all-digital low-latency connection). I can never reproduce it though, and swapping the phone didn't help. Has anyone else seen "mystery echo" on Snom phones? Any suggestions for debugging? On my own Snom 360, I sometimes

The special wav49 ms hack doesn't produce correct WAV files on output. they cannot be played back on windows media player nor winamp. for example a typcial voicemail message with 9 seconds stops after 6 seconds playback with the error: "invalid fileformat (Error=8004022F)" attached is such a file. in the meantime I use the uncompressed wav format and postprocess this in
