</div>The standard Asterisk prompts are already available in a wide variety of<br>
encodings.<br>
<br>
Try "googling" for "asterisk convert mp3 to wav"<br>
<br>
Some will suggest to use Asterisk. Besides appearing to use a sledgehammer<br>
for a fly-swatter, I don't like using a mission critical resource when<br>
there are better alternatives like sox -- especially for scripting.<br>
<br>
g729 will be a bit of a bitch, however.<br>
<br>
I cobbled up a script to use mpg123 (to convert from MP3 to WAV), sox,<br>
and normalize.<br>
