[Asterisk-Users] Anyone else use Audacity for prompts?

Why do stuff the hard way?

; used to record prompts
exten => 205,1,Wait(2)
exten => 205,2,Record(/tmp/asterisk-recording:gsm)
exten => 205,3,Wait(2)
exten => 205,4,Playback(/tmp/asterisk-recording)
exten => 205,5,Wait(2)
exten => 205,6,Hangup
