If your goal is to reduce transcoding (converting from one encoding to another), you want to have your sound files in the same encoding as your channels. If you are only using GSM, then you would want your sound files (including all of the standard Asterisk prompts) in GSM. If you are only using ULAW (like me), then encoding to GSM means Asterisk will have to transcode every file every time it is played. If you are using a mix of encodings, say ULAW for internal calls and GSM for external calls, you would want to have your sound files (again, including all of the standard Asterisk prompts) in both ULAW and GSM encodings. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards [email protected] Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
