GSM is a very lossy voice codec.  Lots of cellulars use this as well
as some PBXs.  It's about the quality of ulaw or alaw without hogging
the bandwidth (it backs down when there's silence).

My mplayer doesn't seem to want to play gsm (probably a plugin problem).

This works (sort of).  Can't understand it though, it's at about 5x
play speed. Like playing a 33 rpm record at 178 rpm (at 78 rpm you
could still understand what was recorded).  Like to find a fix for
this because it occasionally happens on web videos.
