What soundfile format, is the one that uses least transcoding
during playback?
As I can see, I can choose wav or gsm. What sucks least cpu power, during
playback to example a Zap channel? I would guess wav, but is this correct?
When you get down to it, the asterisk native format is slinear.
Fortunately, you're in luck as Kristian Kielhofner did the asterisk
community a big favor and had Alison re-record all the asterisk
sounds, and he put them in slinear format. You can find them on the
astlinux website (there's other formats, too):

What's the native soundfile format for SIP? Any idea which soundfile
takes the least CPU for mixing together in conferences?
How about whether the CPU load for conferencing native data is
greater/less than the CPU load for transcoding non-native data that is
"CPU lighter" in the conference mixing phase?
