So you have a .wav file from your voicemail system (or wherever) that you discover is in IMA ADPCM format. Code: user@someplace$ file VoiceMsg.wav VoiceMsg.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, IMA ADPCM, mono 8000 Hz Install two ports: * /usr/ports/audio/sox * /usr/ports/audio/adpcm Now use sox to convert it to a suitable format. In my case I chose: Code: user@someplace$ sox -i VoiceMsg.wav -s out.wav The -s option created a MS PCM file for me, but do whatever you'd like. See sox man pages for many more options, of course. P.S. This was tested and confirmed on a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE box. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
