> Playback of local files is impacted by media cache.  As the cache grows, performance of common Read and Playback (and presumably other) operations for local files is impacted.
> For example, Playback command of a local file like this:
> exten => s,n,Playback(thankyou)
> Even though it's playing a local file, those operations are searching the media cache. As the cache size grows, the performance of that type of call is impacted.  In fact, we've seen a multi-second delay from the time the Playback command is executed to when the caller hears the audio.
> The delay grows significantly over time as the cache grows bigger.  With thousands of files in the media cache while the server is under heavy load, the delay has been upwards of 15-30 seconds.  Without files in the media cache there is zero delay.
> Here's a debug output snippet that shows the issue.  The Read application is playing a local file named 'pb/ac-enter-pin'.  Notice that media_cache.c line 194 fails to locate the media.
>     -- Executing [s at nx-dial-session:20] Read("SIP/vitel-inbound2-00000002", "__DS_PIN,/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/pb/ac-enter-pin") in new stack
> [2019-11-20 15:22:06] DEBUG[30329][C-00000003]: media_cache.c:194 ast_media_cache_retrieve: Failed to obtain media at '/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/pb/ac-enter-pin'
> [2019-11-20 15:22:06] DEBUG[30329][C-00000003]: media_cache.c:194 ast_media_cache_retrieve: Failed to obtain media at '/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/pb/ac-enter-pin'
> This section of the code should not be used in cases where the file is a local file.
