Hello list,

it seems that Asterisk is unable to convert a wav-file into an alaw-file :

[r...@asterisk testing]# asterisk -rx file convert testExtended2.wav 
testExtended2.alaw

Unable to open input file: testExtended2.wav
[r...@asterisk testing]# asterisk -rx file convert testLong2.wav 
testLong2.alaw

Unable to open input file: testLong2.wav


Try using an absolute path to the files:

asterisk -rx file convert /path/to/testExtended2.wav 
/path/to/textExtended2.alaw

Subject: [asterisk-users] Convert wav-file to alaw-file

 

Hello list,

it seems that Asterisk is unable to convert a wav-file into an alaw-file :

[r...@asterisk testing]# asterisk -rx file convert testExtended2.wav
testExtended2.alaw
Unable to open input file: testExtended2.wav
[r...@asterisk testing]# asterisk -rx file convert testLong2.wav
testLong2.alaw
Unable to open input file: testLong2.wav


The wav-file is MONO, 8000Hz according to SoX and confirmed by the sox
mailinglist
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4C6A4661.9000209%4
0telenet.be)

[r...@asterisk testing]# soxi testLong2.wav

Input File : 'testLong2.wav'
Channels   : 1
Sample Rate: 8000
Precision  : 16-bit
Duration   : 00:01:27.05 = 696427 samples ~ 6529 CDDA sectors
Sample Encoding: 16-bit Signed Integer PCM

Why then can I not use Asterisk to 'convert' to alaw ?!

Kind regards,

Jonas.

 

As I interpret what I have read in this forum over the last several months,
there is not really an ALAW format.  If you do a sox (don't remember if
you can do in native Asterisk) convert to RAW (headerless) format,  Asterisk
is happy to consider that as ALAW.

That would be signed linear (SLIN).
