Technical details
The ALAW files represent audio data compression methods common in voice only applications and are mainly used in the European systems. Like the u-law compression format, ALAW compresses original audio data from 16 to 8 bits with a dynamic range of about 13 compression data bits, (that means half the size of the original audio).
