Hi all,

I'm thinking of building a digital telephone answering system. What I
really want to know is if there are any good audio compression
algorithms that I can use.

I'll be using a PIC processor preferably with a multiplication
instruction. The algorithm can't be too complex because you need to
compress the data in real time (8 bits, say 10kHz).

Is this possible or are you better off just storing the audio data
uncompressed? What do you think?
