By default, unless a plug-in was installed (eg. QuickTime, yuck), if I
click on WAV file in FireFox or IE (Opera is OK), it spawns the
application that registered with Windows to play WAV files. I'd like
to avoid this.

When using a Flash player, it just plays the file without launching an
external app. And users get to see a playlist from which they just to
pick which message they want to hear. Much better:

No, precisely: I _don't_ want to compress files in MP3, I want to keep
them in WAV. The goal is not to save space, but to save CPU :-)

FWIW, I sucessfully flashed the CF card with Askozia, which is based
on FreeBSD + Asterisk 1.4 and is derived from the MonoWall project:

It runs very nicely on that IBM Netvista sporting a Pentium 233MHz and
256MB RAM.
