Doug,
The required formats for native MOH are entirely dependent on the codecs
being used for calls. As such, there is no single format that is the
right one. Looking at the original post, I'd assume Bart is using both
the GSM and ULAW codecs on his system. If that is the case, he should
transcode all of his MOH files to both GSM and PCM formats. Asterisk
will take care of matching the formats to the codecs being used on each
individual call.
In addition to this, the two methods mentioned in this thread for
transcoding files are almost identical. They both produce a file in the
ULAW format. To demonstrate this, I took the same WAV file and ran the
following two commands against it:
sox test.wav -t au -r 8000 -U -b -c 1 test.ulaw
sox test.wav -t ul -r 8000 -b -c 1 test.pcm
The only difference between "test.ulaw" and "test.pcm" is that the
former has a 41 byte header and the latter doesn't. Discounting the
unnecessary header, the files are identical.
As for the OP, I'm not sure what the source of his problem is. There is
a lot of information out there about MOH, some of it good, some of it
bad. Hopefully, someone that has experienced a problem similar to his
can help him out. It would be helpful if we were sure of the codecs he
is using.
