I'm still a little confused as to _exactly_ what you are seeing.

Can you confirm my understanding that, with the default dialplan (or a local 
equivalent), the demo (extension 1000) does not audibly play the 
"Congratulations you have successfully installed and executed..." message 
(or rather that the GSM file is being accessed, but the audio is not 
reaching the client).

Also, above you said "So I reinstalled 1.2.9.1 but the problem persisted. I 
then turned back on my older * server which was not upgraded and everything 
works fine again. But my new system will not even let me put 1.2.9.1 back on 
again". I can't work out whether this means that you did, or did not, manage 
to "downgrade" to 1.2.9.1 on the original system.

What device do your "incoming calls" come from - is it a Digium FXO card, 
or a SIP or IAX server? What codec (do you think) is being used?

As a data point - with 1.2.12.1 installed on FreeBSD 5.4 I can successfully 
run the demo dialplan when inbound from a SIP device, and can successfully 
route an incoming IAX call to an outbound SIP call with 2 way audio in both 
cases.

I note that all the problem reports for far have come from people running on 
FreeBSD 6.X.
 - Is there anyone out there seeing this problem on 5.X?
 - Is there anyone running on 6.X and _not_ seeing this problem?
