* Package Name : asterisk-core-sounds Version : 1.4.17 Upstream Author : Digium Inc. * URL : http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds * License : CC-BY-SA-3.0 * Programming Lang: (Collection of sound prompts) * Description : base voice prompts for the Asterisk PBX the basic set of voice prompts that is distributed with the Asterisk PBX. It includes numbers, basic prompts used by Asterisk applications, and such. This package is provided by Upstream in three different languages (en_US and es_MX by Allison Smith and fr_CA by June Wallack) and in 9 different audio formats. Of those formats it seems like a good idea to package: * gsm: Was default for a long time, compressed, and playable in Sox and others even though it is a raw file. * wav: Uncompressed, and thus preserves quality. Now a raw file and thus more convinient to manipulate. ("wav" is 8kHz, 16 bits/sample, mono). * g722: Of the available wide-band formats, this was the sanest (slin16 is huge). Thus we will eventually have the binary packages asterisk-core-sounds-{en,es,fr}-{g722,gsm,wav} . Note that the existing package 'asterisk-sounds' is the same as the the resulting asterisk-core-sounds-en-gsm . The other 8 proposed packages have no equivalent in the archives. There are some existing packages of French prompts, but they are fr_FR and not fr_CA (and not as complete). Initial packaging has already been created in the SVN repository of the pkg-voip team.
