Re: [asterisk-users] [1.4 + FreeBSD 6.2] Playing WAV PCM file?

vincent,
here is a script that I used to convert a single wav file or the entire directory... no file specified on launch, converts all files in the current directory...
creates a logfile, although trivial...
daveC

#!/bin/sh
#
#    convert-all.sh
#
#    convert all *.wav files to .gsm .au formats
#

if [ "null${1}" == "null" ]
then
    FILE_LIST=`ls *.wav`
else
    FILE_LIST=`ls ${1}*.wav`
fi

LOG="./log_convert.log"
echo "======================================================= " >>${LOG}
echo "        started at `date`         " >>${LOG}

echo " Removing all current .gsm files..."
rm -f *.gsm

for FNAME in ${FILE_LIST}
do
    echo "----   -------   ----- "
    echo "----   " >>${LOG}
    echo " Processing ${FNAME}... "
    echo " Processing ${FNAME}... " >>${LOG}
    BASEFNAME=`echo ${FNAME} | awk '{print substr($0,1,length($0)-4)}'`

    echo "         making ${BASEFNAME}.gsm... "
    echo "         making ${BASEFNAME}.gsm... " >>${LOG}
    #sox -q -V -c 1  ${FNAME} -r 8000 -c 1 -w ${BASEFNAME}.gsm resample -ql  2>>${LOG}
    sox -q -V ${FNAME} -r 8000 -c 1 ${BASEFNAME}.gsm resample -ql  2>>${LOG}
    echo "----   " >>${LOG}
    echo "         making ${BASEFNAME}.au... "
    echo "         making ${BASEFNAME}.au... " >>${LOG}
    sox -q -V ${FNAME} -t au -r 8000 -c 1 -w ${BASEFNAME}.au resample -ql 2>>${LOG}
done
