[Linuxvm-dev] Space available for messages

[Matthew J. D. <mda...@se...>]

From my tests I am using 470KB for space of 1 minute of a message

Assuming we allocate 600 MB for messsages that gives us 1,277 minutes, or 21
hours.  That is a LOT of time for messages, there are lots of voicemails
that have 2 hours of storage.

The file can be compressed 40% by using standard winzip.  I wonder if we
should convert them to mp3.  I would think there is a way to programatically
do that on a debian system.

The 1GB card cost about $245 with shipping, we could shave $100 bucks off
the cost of each box with better commpression of the voice files.
