[VoiceOps] Voicemail options

[Nelson Hicks]

That is very interesting, and something I was not aware of.  Broadworks 
seems to use this format for voicemail recordings:

WAV-wrapped DVI ADPCM audio (Linux file command reports it as IMA 
ADPCM), mono 8KHz

If I can figure out how to get Asterisk to use that audio format, that 
may make a lot of this a lot simpler.  Thanks for the hint!
