About formats

OGA is the audio-only file extension within the Ogg container framework maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. While .ogg traditionally served as a catch-all extension for any Ogg-encapsulated stream, the introduction of .oga in 2007 brought clarity by explicitly signaling that a file contains only audio data. Under the hood, OGA files can carry audio encoded with Vorbis, FLAC, Speex, or Opus — the container is codec-agnostic, serving as a transport wrapper with support for chained logical bitstreams and granule-based seeking. One benefit of OGA is interoperability: applications that encounter the .oga extension can optimize for audio-only playback without probing for video tracks, resulting in faster load times and lower memory usage. Because the Ogg container and its associated codecs are entirely open-source and royalty-free, OGA avoids the patent licensing complexities that affect proprietary formats. The format supports Vorbis comment metadata for tagging artist, album, and track information in a standardized way. OGA plays natively in Firefox, Chromium-based browsers, VLC, and most Linux desktop environments, making it a practical choice for web audio distribution and archival workflows.
Initial release: 2007
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.
Initial release: 1999

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert OGA to SLN?

SLN is native to Asterisk PBX. Convert OGA audio for use as prompts and messages in Asterisk systems.

What programs can open SLN files?

Asterisk PBX uses SLN natively. SoX and Audacity can also import and play signed linear audio.

Can I convert multiple OGA files to SLN at once?

Yes — upload several OGA files simultaneously and convert them all to SLN in a single batch session.

Is the OGA to SLN conversion fast?

Yes — most audio files convert in just a few seconds. The process runs on fast cloud servers, so your device stays free.

Is my OGA audio kept private during conversion?

Your uploaded OGA files are deleted immediately after conversion. Output files are automatically removed within 24 hours.
