In my remember, when playback a file. The Asterisk will automatically choose the audio file with the lowest conversion cost. Not always looks the filename.gsm.

Yes you can copy them into the same directory as the current files. Kris recommends that you move your existing files for safety only. The mode (ULAW, GSM etc) is selected by Asterisk depending upon what mode the current caller is using. Have you noticed that you don't have to put a file extension on the end of a Playback instruction? This is because Asterisk looks for filename.mode when trying to play a file. In the event it can't find filename.mode it looks for filename.gsm. If the file it's playing is not encoded using the current mode it has to transcode the gsm file into whatever is required. This not only adds computing overhead to the call in progress but degrades the quality of the file as all such transactions are lossy. Understand?
