Happy New Year! It seems from the console output that you have specified the
extension of the filename in your dialplan.  That doesn't work with
asterisk. All you need to do is specify the name of the file you want to
play without the extension like

s,2,Playback(/usr/local/lib/asterisk/test_wav_out)

And asterisk will automatically pickup the file that it can play with any
asterisk supported format from the specified path.
