There is no difference between an extension and a DID as far as Asterisk 
is concerned.  You must have typoed the above example as you do not have 
an exten => s,1

When you do a exten => s,n,SayAlpha(${EXTEN}) the extension IS "s".  If 
it was not "s" then it would never have gotten to that extension.
