Hi,

I’m publishing my microphone using Speex codec from Flash to Wowza, and I want to decode the audio on the server using JSpeex.

Actually I want to save Speex audio stream into wave file.

I see similar questions on Wowza forum, but unfortunately can’t get all this working.

Can anybody post the sample which really works (including 1-bit header concatenation, etc.) ?

I will be really thankful!

WE (Wowza) do not have sample code for this.

hi borisbsu,

I’m trying to get your example of recording an wav to work. A wav file is created but when I play the wav file the recorded sound is really distorted. It’s hard to understand the recording.

Help would be highly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Marcel

Below is the example if anybody will look for the same question in the future:

(It’s based on the following package [https://www.wowza.com/downloads/forums/videopassthru/VideoPassThru.zip](https://www.wowza.com/downloads/forums/videopassthru/VideoPassThru.zip))
