Hey Jim, Ever the voice of controversy - I disagree with you. LAME encodes at faster than real-time on reasonable spec hardware (P3 2.4Ghz for example will do 2x 48Khz streams). For example, to capture directly from a sound device and write to MP3 natively you can use sox to do the I/O and pipe it to lame, as below. sox -t ossdsp -w -s -r 44100 -c 2 /dev/dsp -t raw - | lame -x -m s - .filename`date +%b%d_%H%M%P_%Y`.mp3 I don't know how "accessible" the raw commands are to app_rpt but it shouldn't be too tricky to do... 73 Jon G7PFT Jim Duuuude wrote:
convert to MP3 in real time on a telecom system? Surely you jest :-). The cpu time required for that (especially on smaller systems) would be MOST prohibitive. Therefore, its *really* designed to have a queue of native format messages (and log files, also) get copied to a larger server on a periodic basis and let the large server with big CPU's handle the MP3 crunching.

Thanks to everyone who replied.
I've found it now and it works a treat!
Are there any other options I can use with that command, for example, to change to MP3 format or something?
If not, no problem - its working well and seems to require about 8Kb / sec of disc space, which equates to almost 700 hours for a 20Gb partition..
Cool! Thanks,

Rodger,
The 'locate' command can be used to find it. It's in /usr/src/EVB/ast_base/asterisk-1.4.21.2/configs/rpt.conf.sample You're right that we should make an obvious link to it in the web based documentation
73,
Steve
