Hi guys,
I seem to have slept under a stone for years because I bought my first Xbox two month ago. I love it. I love XBMC.
My problem is, that I am new to XBMC and also new to Python. I just started to script, because I really want that application (read below). My question is, is there a way to play *.au-files (SUN unix sound format) under XBMC. If not is there a way to convert them? Under Linux I know the application "sox". But I do not know enough about XBMC.
So what am I doing. I have a (software) voice box running under Linux. The application is called "vbox" for isdn4linux. There is a deamon on my linux server, that I can ask for infos like who has left a message, the length and which number was called (I have defined three voice boxes for three lines actually).
The deamon sends even the recorded message itself, if I ask for it. I save it into a file. The format is SUN au-format. And XBMC does not recognise it.
I never program in Python before but I need that app really hard. My script is ugly but it works basically. It displays the voice boxes and the recorded messages. Selectivly playing them and deleting them would be a future enhancement. But playing au-files seems to be a problem.
