About formats

FLV (Flash Video) is a container format originally developed by Macromedia and later maintained by Adobe Systems after the 2005 acquisition. The format gained support for standalone playback with Flash Player 7 in 2003 and quickly became the dominant video format on the web, powering platforms like YouTube, Hulu, and Vimeo during the late 2000s. FLV files typically contain video encoded with the Sorenson Spark or VP6 codec alongside MP3 or ADPCM audio, wrapped in a lightweight proprietary container optimized for streaming delivery. The major strength of FLV was its ability to deliver consistent video playback across different operating systems and browsers through the ubiquitous Flash Player plugin, solving the fragmentation problem that plagued web video at the time. FLV files begin with a compact header followed by tagged data packets, a structure that enables fast seeking and efficient progressive download. The container supports embedded metadata with cue points, enabling interactive features like chapter navigation and timed events. FLV transformed online video from an unreliable niche experience into a mainstream medium, fundamentally reshaping entertainment, education, and communication on the internet. Although HTML5 video and modern codecs have replaced Flash-based delivery, FLV files remain in countless archives and legacy systems.

SLN (Signed Linear) is a headerless raw audio format storing 16-bit signed linear PCM samples at 8000 Hz mono, most closely associated with Asterisk — the open-source PBX framework developed by Digium (now Sangoma Technologies). Within Asterisk, SLN serves as the native internal audio representation: every codec transcoding operation passes through signed linear as an intermediate step. This makes SLN the backbone of Asterisk's codec translation architecture. The format contains nothing but raw samples — no headers, no metadata, no framing — so parameters must be known in advance. While this lack of self-description might seem limiting, it is actually an advantage in telephony where sample format is fixed by convention and every overhead byte matters across thousands of simultaneous channels. The 8000 Hz rate aligns with the G.711 standard for traditional telephony, capturing the full 300-3400 Hz voice band. Asterisk also supports extended variants (sln16, sln32, sln48) for wideband audio. SLN files require no decoding — just direct memory mapping — making them ideal for real-time mixing, conferencing, and prompt playback in high-density VoIP environments.
