Tilghman speaks rightly. This conversion utility keys from file names,
so for g729, you might say:   asterisk -rx "file convert tt-weasels.ulaw
tt-weasels.g729"

or,

asterisk -rx "file convert /home/user/tt-weasels.gsm
/home/user/tt-weasels.g729"

(oh, and make sure asterisk is running!)

PS. Wouldn't it be nice if sox could handle the sirens, g729, and everything
else?
