FreePBX Asterisk Send Voicemail as mp3 script
#! /bin/sh
# Asterisk voicemail attachment conversion script
# Revision history :
# 22/11/2010 - V1.0 - Creation by N. Bernaerts
# 07/02/2012 - V1.1 - Add handling of mails without attachment (thanks to Paul Thompson)
# 01/05/2012 - V1.2 - Use mktemp, pushd & popd
# 08/05/2012 - V1.3 - Change mp3 compression to CBR to solve some smartphone compatibility (thanks to Luca Mancino)
# 01/08/2012 - V1.4 - Add PATH definition to avoid any problem (thanks to Christopher Wolff)
# set PATH
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
# save the current directory
pushd .
# create a temporary directory and cd to it
TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)
cd $TMPDIR
# dump the stream to a temporary file
cat >> stream.org
# get the boundary
BOUNDARY=`grep "boundary=" stream.org | cut -d'"' -f 2`
# cut the file into parts
# stream.part - header before the boundary
# stream.part1 - header after the bounday
# stream.part2 - body of the message
# stream.part3 - attachment in base64 (WAV file)
# stream.part4 - footer of the message
awk '/'$BOUNDARY'/{i++}{print > "stream.part"i}' stream.org
# if mail is having no audio attachment (plain text)
PLAINTEXT=`cat stream.part1 | grep 'plain'`

then
# prepare to send the original stream
cat stream.org > stream.new
# else, if mail is having audio attachment
else
# cut the attachment into parts
# stream.part3.head - header of attachment
# stream.part3.wav.base64 - wav file of attachment (encoded base64)

# -b 24 is using CBR, giving better compatibility on smartphones (you can use -b 32 to increase quality)
# -V 2 is using VBR, a good compromise between quality and size for voice audio files
