Sound (prompt) and Music On Hold files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beginning with Asterisk 1.4, the sound files and music on hold files supplied for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
use with Asterisk have been replaced with new versions produced from high quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
master recordings, and are available in three languages (English, French and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spanish) and in five formats (WAV (uncompressed), mu-Law, a-Law, GSM and G.729).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, the music on hold files provided by FreePlay Music are now available
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the same five formats, but no longer available in MP3 format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Asterisk 1.4 tarball packages will only include English prompts in GSM format,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(as were supplied with previous releases) and the FreePlay MOH files in WAV format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of the other variations can be installed by running 'make menuselect' and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
selecting the packages you wish to install; when you run 'make install', those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
packages will be downloaded and installed along with the standard files included
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the tarball.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If for some reason you expect to not have Internet access at the time you will be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
running 'make install', you can make your package selections using menuselect and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then run 'make sounds' to download (only) the sound packages; this will leave the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sound packages in the 'sounds' subdirectory to be used later during installation.

WARNING: Asterisk 1.4 supports a new layout for sound files in multiple languages;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
instead of the alternate-language files being stored in subdirectories underneath
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the existing files (for French, that would be digits/fr, letters/fr, phonetic/fr,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
etc.) the new layout creates one directory under /var/lib/asterisk/sounds for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
language itself, then places all the sound files for that language under that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
directory and its subdirectories. This is the layout that will be created if you
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
select non-English languages to be installed via menuselect, HOWEVER Asterisk does
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
not default to this layout and will not find the files in the places it expects them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to be. If you wish to use this layout, make sure you put 'languageprefix=yes' in your
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf file, so that Asterisk will know how the files were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
installed.

instead of alpha.gsm and bravo.gsm, Asterisk has a_p.gsm and b_p.gsm.
