=Using the A&A / FireBrick call recording software for announcements (e.g. out of hours announcement)=
As well as acting as a SIP endpoint for recording calls, ''voip-record'' doubles as a playback system, which you can use to play announcements.
== Creating the announcement / playback files ==
The sound files used for announcements / playback must meet all the following:
* .wav
* A-LAW
* 8000Hz sample rate
* mono only
You can easily use Audacity to create suitable files; just remember to set the sample rate to 8000Hz, and to set the track to mono only, first.
If, when you play the files back through ''voip-record'', they sound distorted, chances are you have either got the sample rate wrong, or else accidentally recorded them in stereo.
== Hosting the announcement / playback files==
Files to be played back can be put in any directory readable by ''voip-record''. You tell it which directory to look in by using the ''directory'' or ''-d'' switch. For example:
''./voip-answer -d /voipuser/voip-answer/sounds/''
== Trigger the announcement / playback files==
