-rawplayer is a simple C applet to stream raw music files in place of mpg123
-
-INSTALL
-
-compile the .c file and install:
-gcc -O2 rawplayer.c -o /usr/bin/rawplayer
-

-
-Converting MP3 to RAW
-
-Make track01.mp3 into track01.raw with sox (if compiled with mp3 support).
-sox -c 1 track01.mp3 -t raw -r 8000 -c 1 -s -w track01.raw
-
-Otherwise, use whatever app to turn track01.mp3 into track01.wav then use sox on the wav.
-sox -c 1 track01.wav -t raw -r 8000 -c 1 -s -w track01.raw
-
-
-Once you have the raw files put them in any dir on your system (eg /var/lib/asterisk/holdmusic_raw).
-and set up a class in musiconhold.conf like so:
-
-[classes]
-default => custom:/var/lib/asterisk/holdmusic_raw,/usr/bin/rawplayer
-
-
-This is the most efficient way to implement moh because no cpu usage is required to
-explode the very compressed mp3 data then downsample the music to the 8khz mono on the fly
-instead the data is already stored on the disk in the format that asterisk needs it to be
-and the player does little more than pick up frames from the file and hand them to right
-to the asterisk pipe where the audio is shared into all the channels who require it.
-
-
-If you have cpu to spare and want a simple mp3 solution consider the format_mp3 from
-asterisk-addons and the files based moh.
