Well, zipping (or MP3 encoding) could be.  But what about when someone  
calls in to check their messages?  The unzipping/MP3 decoding must be done  
in realtime, on demand, and on the server.

I agree with Tony's argument for MP3 when sent via e-mail or downloaded  
 from the user portal.  But even if sipX did MP3 encoding for this purpose,  
I'd suggest keeping the original linear files around for when users are  
retrieving messages via the telephone to avoid the need to decode in  
realtime.

Is anyone out there running a 'large' sipX/SCS system willing to publish  
their voicemail usage specs?  I'd love to see the average number of  
messages per mailbox, and the average length of each message, and the  
total disk space used by voicemail.  Every system I've ever looked at was  
using a tiny fraction of the disk space for voicemail.  Average message  
length was under 30 seconds.  Logs were taking up WAY more space then  
voicemail ever did.

And for the record, I think sipX should support MP3, but only when someone  
finds a way around the licensing issues.
