mpg123 used to convert the mp3 data that we get from google to wav. The
wav file is passed to sox that converts it to raw slinear and then its
played back by asterisk using the 'stream file' agi command.

I don't really like calling all these system commands but I thought it
would be better for the users to have the voice data in sln than mp3
since format_mp3 module isn't available in many installations.
