I have a lot of recordings from asterisk in a .gsm format. I would like
to play these files from a web browser (IE, firefox and opera)

What do I need to do in order to achieve this goal ?

Thanks

Julian

Apple Quicktime or WavePad on Windows and Mac.

As for Linux, your options are zgsmplay or SoX unless you can get
Quicktime to work.

A posting to the correct mailing list?

Or at least a post with the details of the issue? What OS? Can you
play these same .gsm files in any media player your OS might have?

Doesn't he mean something like when the recording happens, he'd like to go
http://192.168.1.1/recordings and then when he sees the list of *.gsm
recordings, he clicks on it, and the serverside starts playing it?

I think you'll need a Quicktime client (as as plugin to your brownser) on
your PC before it plays that file on the browser itself without needing to
download the *.gsm first.

No, no, no.

Don't try to play them directly as gsm files. Convert them to wav on
the fly, when demanded by the user from the webpage. Have a php, or
perl, or whatever script call sox, and push the wav to the user. sox
runs so fast that you can do the conversion on-demand. You can decide
what to do with the wav file afterward. Delete it immediately, cache
it, whatever. Don't force the users to know anything they don't
already know. There are a lot of media players that can handle a wav
file.

I don't want to add to the list of supported players - my suggestion is to
do the recordings as WAV, so you get the same quality and compression
results but it's playable natively on any Windows box.
Another choice to get this issue solved, if you have a system that is not
24/7 in use, why not running a nightly job to do recoding to voice-rate
MP3? playable anywhere, good quality, small footprint.
I have a makefile somewhere to do that, even starting from .gsm.... I
think it's this one: http://astrecipes.net/index.php?n=294

I usually use lame to do the decoding and pipe it back into sox.
