Summary:                    how to change the default encoding format from pcm
into alaw
Description: 
i have installed the asterisk version 1.4. In that machine  i installed the
diguim card and connected to E1 PRI. I made the call to that PRI and the
asterisk pickedup , to record the voice i issued the Monitor command
through Asterisk manager interface. The voice recorded with .wav extension
and it is in PCM encoded format. I want this to be in alaw format. I tried
to get this by editing the zaptel.conf as follows,
span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
# termtype: te
bchan=1-15,17-31
dchan=16
alaw=1-15,17-31

loadzone        = us
defaultzone     = us

in the above, i included alaw parameter newly, but then also the same
result.

kindly give me suggestions or directions to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,
jankrishnan.
