Like so:

[sip-in]
exten => 1000,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=incoming_${CALLERIDNUM}_${TIMESTAMP})
exten => 1000,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME})
exten => 1000,3,Dial(SIP/alex,20)
;exten => 1000,4,Voicemail(u1000)
exten => h,1,Macro(wav2mp3)

[macro-wav2mp3]
exten => s,1,System(nice -n 19 asterisk2mp3.py /var/spool/asterisk/monitor ${CALLFILENAME})





Found it after googling for hours. I have to say that the
documentation for Asterix feels a bit sketchy.
