Ah, but to-ast or not to-ast, that is the question (I *love* bad puns!)

TOAST being the file format that comes with the Berlin implementation 
known as libgsm. IIRC 4 'magic' bits are prepended (or is it appended?) 
to every block of 33 bytes minus 4 bits.

I really need to know the origin. Strangely 
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/GSM/ states this file dates back to 
2002-Aug-08, I doubt that very much. Time for sherlocking my list 
archives...

That is what you get for posting a problem without upgrading then 
posting your command line and messages :-)
