Hi ,

here are some descriptions of the problems
I've encountered when STFax reads WAV-audio files,
e.g. for greeting messages.

First I've used AmiSox v3.3 (available from Aminet).
The available sound compression for WAV-files
is not supported by AmiSox, and therefor not used.

Output Format: RIFF-WAVE, Mono,  8000 Hz, (1)
               RIFF-WAVE, Mono, 11025 Hz, (2)

Then I used Xto8SVX to convert the original WAV-file.
And back to WAV via 8SVXtoXXX.

Output Format: RIFF-WAVE, Mono, 11025 Hz,  8 bit,(3)        
               RIFF-WAVE, Mono, 11025 Hz, 12 bit, I(*),(4)
               RIFF-WAVE, Mono, 11025 Hz, 12 bit, M(*),(5)
               RIFF-WAVE, Mono, 11025 Hz, 16 bit, I(*),(6)
               RIFF-WAVE, Mono, 11025 Hz, 16 bit, M(*),(7)                             
             
(*) I=Intel byte ordering, RIFF-WAVE PCM
    M=Motorola byte ordering, RIFX-WAVE

In addition the generated 8SVX (8) file, which can be imported
to STFax via datatypes.

Loading the above mentioned file into STFax as a greeting message
showed the following results:

AmiSox-files: files (1),(2): Crashing with GURU 80000008
                             Multiview loads them
                             No Snoop erros (no dtypes used)
                             Enforcer Hit
\begin{log}

\end{\log}

8SVXtoXXX: file (3): STFax hangs
                     No Snoop erros (no dtypes used)
                     No Enforcer Hits

                         
           files (4),(6): STFax hangs
                          No Snoop erros (dtypes used)
                          No Enforcer Hits

           files (5),(7): STFax load without errors
                          No Snoop erros (no dtypes used)
                          No Enforcer Hits

           files (8): STFax load without errors
                      No Snoop erros (dtypes used)
                      No Enforcer Hits

And now something really strange:

Multiview hangs loading the files converted by 8SVXtoXXX,
but only for the Intel byte ordering one's,
it doesn't recognize the RIFX-files

Enforcer-Log-Files, SnoopDos-Log-Files and STFax-Log-File 
and WAV-Files are available by request.

Hey Simone, because Wolfgang Hosemann mentioned that there are still
problems regarding the ACDPM-compression used by USR-Modems,
there was a utility provided by SoundConvert which supports
this compression method (X2ADPCM, which uses datatypes for
reading the input file and supports ADCPM2 and ADCPM3
compression, mono, no resampling, status:Public Domain,

Maybe it's helpful. (No sources available via Aminet :-(

So next I'm gonna spend an evening checking what's wrong
when STFax records the incoming voice messages,
have a nice week folks....

Ciao
