[Asterisk-Users] MP3 or OGG

[Waldo Rubinstein]

I tried Speex and the quality is much better than using lame to  
convert to mp3 or the ogg version. File compression is still better  
in mp3 than speex (mp3 is approximately twice smaller than speex),  
but I could live with it. Speex file size is still approximately 8  
times smaller than WAV.

Thanks,
Waldo
