> 13 years ago, for Asterisk 1.6.0, commit [f04d5fb|https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/commit/f04d5fb83dd36e600e1e257568ea3ca53154315e] allowed sessions without audio, for example text+video. For 6 years, since Asterisk 13 and because of commit [a2c912e|https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/commit/a2c912e9972c91973ea66902d217746133f96026], the core module {{channel}} writes in such a case:
> bq. No translator path exists for channel
> and declines such a channel because the current source code expects at least one audio format.
> *Note*
> I was not able to test text+video with any channel yet successfully, especially because I did not test all channels. This fix here is about fixing an obvious copy-and-paste error; even the inline comments from the original commit are still there, just its code disappeared.
