[asterisk-users] Weird problem with beep.wav!

[James Dyer]

This is really doing my head in!

For some reason, my asterisk box can't playback beep.wav.

I have this extension defined in my internal context:

'10001' =>        1. Answer()                                   [pbx_config]
                    2. Wait(2)                                  [pbx_config]
                    3. Record(/tmp/asterisk/10001:gsm)          [pbx_config]
                    4. Wait(2)                                  [pbx_config]
                    5. Playback(/tmp/asterisk/10001)            [pbx_config]
                    6. Wait(2)                                  [pbx_config]
                    7. Hangup()                                 [pbx_config]


When I call ext 10001 from a phone, I get the following:

    -- Executing Answer("IAX2/308-4", "") in new stack
    -- Executing Wait("IAX2/308-4", "2") in new stack
    -- Executing Record("IAX2/308-4", "/tmp/asterisk/10001:gsm") in new 
stack

file 49

I'm getting the same issue with voicemail when that application tries to 
play the beep.

Don't think it'a actually a problem with the playing back of WAV files as 
such, since ext. 666:
  '666' =>          1. Answer()                                   [pbx_config]
                    2. Background(carried-away-by-monkeys)        [pbx_config]
                    3. Hangup()                                   [pbx_config]

works fine. 

Permissionsn on the file (-rw-r--r--) are fine.

I've tried copying beep.wav to my windows box, where it played fine, so it 
is presumably not corrupted or anything.

Anyone got any ideas??
