New conference sounds
I decided to change the enter and leave sounds on the Bell's Mind
bridge today. It wasn't quite as easy as I thought. Here's the
process...
1) Record a sound (sound.wav).
2) Convert the sound to 8 KHz ulaw (sox sound.wav -r 8000
sound.ul).
3) Hex dump the ulaw file with the octal dump utility (od -t x1
sound.ul > sound.h)
4) Now mangle the values by hand into a C style array (I won't
explain that here).
5) Modify the Asterisk source to use your new sound, recompile and
restart Asterisk (I won't explain that here either).
I figured after all my hard work that it'd be a welcome addition to
the box. Boy was I wrong... :P Listen to the new
enter and
leave sounds and let me know what you
think.
If you have some sounds you'd rather hear on the bridge, of course,
e-mail
me. Just don't ask for the default Asterisk sounds because I
absolutely hate them (especially the enter sound).
