[Fwd: Re: [Voyage-linux] Voyage Linux Sound Support]

[Philip A. Chapman]

I'm glad to hear that you are open to including sound.

I'm not an expert on asterisk, but running asterisk on voyage sounds
great!  I do know that asterisk can work with imap servers to store
voicemails there for retrieval from email clients (I'm guessing as .wav
or .mp3 files).  I don't know how voicemail playback over the handsets
work, though I'm guessing it requires very special sound drivers. Rather
than playing a wav file through a sound card, it would go through a
handset connection or the VoiP channel.  In the latter, it's probably
all software, no kernel modules needed. Beyond that, I can only offer my
encouragement.
