[Asterisk-Users] EAGI Audio Capture

[ha i]

Hello Everyone,

Why EAGI is made so complex? The audio captured with
the EAGI-perl script on voip-info.org is almost not
useful. The clarity of the audio is pathetic. Am i
missing something??? I have Digium TDM 12B. I can get
calls to my VoIP phone ok thru TDM and asterisk. But
when i use EAGI-perl script, neither GSM nor RAW audio
file created after capture sounds clear. Lot of noise
and voice can not even be heard. 

Please Help!!! 

Thanks 
Frank 


EAGI-perl script: 
=========== 
#!/usr/bin/perl 
# 
# Note that this example doesn't check the results of
AGI calls, and doesn't use 
# Asterisk::AGI in an attempt to keep it simple and
dependency free.

# Author: Simon P. Ditner / http://uc.org/simon

# Usage: 
# - Create an AGI in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin, i.e.:
perl.eagi 
# - Call using EAGI from your dialplan: exten =>
100,1,EAGI(perl.eagi)
