[Asterisk-Users] wav49 voicemail problem with Windows Media Player

[Steve Underwood]

Hi,

My guess would be the lengths in the header are not set right. If a wave 
file (or a file with a similar structure, like TIFF) works with some 
things and not with others, the problem is usually the lengths in the 
header. Some software just complains when the lengths are wrong. Some 
tries to do its best with what is there. Some software is just so sloppy 
it doesn't even realise anything is wrong, but might crash at any moment :-)

Regards,
Steve
