I’m attaching a patch that will allow users of the 1.2 version of asterisk to increase (or decrease) the gain on voicemails that are emailed.
The version we use on campus also converts to mp3 for better client support, as well as a number of other patches if anyone would be interested in that. Just post a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
In order to install the patch, run these commands:
cd /path/to/asterisk/source
patch -p0 --verbose < /path/to/volgain.patch
make
make install # you can run this or just copy app_voicemail.so
# from apps to /usr/lib/asterisk/modules and restart asterisk
<edit>
Sorry guys, I left a section in the code that was part of our CONVERTMP3 function, it’s been removed.
<edit 2>
Alright, I’ve updated the patch to work in 1.2.32, for those of you still on 1.2. I’d recommend switching to 1.4 or 1.6 even, as the patch you’re looking at here is actually part of the source code in future versions.

Hi,
we use a asterisk 1.2.32, i just searched for such a patch you published, but something was changed in app_voicemail.c, because your patch does not work, i get the follwing error:
File to patch: app_voicemail.c
Patching file app_voicemail.c using Plan A…

Maybe you can adapt your patch for the newest asterisk 1.2.32 version? We need to gain the emailed recordings!
Best regards from Germany,

Alex, I’ve gone and updated the patch for you. I don’t have the resources to test it, but it was fairly simple. I don’t anticipate you having any trouble with it.
