[asterisk-users] play alaw file with .wav extension

[Danny Nicholas]

Asterisk won't be "happy" trying to play foobar.wav if it is actually a
.alaw file.   Since you can't rename the existing files, there's no law that
says you can't copy them and play them correctly.    Assuming that your
calls are using the alaw codec, this snippet would do the trick

 

Exten => 1234,1,answer

Exten => 1234,n,System(/bin/cp foobar.wav /tmp/foobar.alaw)

Exten => 1234,n,playback(/tmp/foobar)

Exten => 1234,n,System(/bin/rm /tmp/foobar.alaw)
