[asterisk-users] MoH - conversion command

[Robert Huddleston]

Personally I like to just hook up an old ghetto blaster / boombox to the
line in port on my sound card :)

Kidding aside - I think audio quality for MoH is not always going to sound
as nice as you might want.

I mostly stream online radio over my MoH and the quality is not the
greatest.

Maybe it's my SIP provider - or maybe just the notion of streaming audio
from an internet stream.

I convert files using:

         sox "${INPUT}" -c 1 -s -w -r 8000 /tmp/$$.wav

What does your sox command line look like?

Can you post a link to 'before' and 'after' files?
