I didn't catch that!  However, when I reconfigured for filesystem storage I had 
the same problem, so I'm not thinking is has anything to do with ODBC any 
more.  I've loaded all of the format and codec modules and still can't get 
this working.

CLI> core show translation paths slin
--- Translation paths SRC Codec "slin" sample rate 8000 ---
        slin       To g723      : No Translation Path                                         
        slin       To gsm       : (slin)->(gsm)                                               
        slin       To ulaw      : (slin)->(ulaw)   

I'm using the ulaw audio codec and wav for storage, so this SHOULD work....

I don't, but this configuration worked before I upgraded from 1.6.x to 10.x.  I 
should have mentioned that this was part of an upgrade, but it was late, and I 
was tired.

So, is there something I'm missing?

Is there any interest in fixing this situation?  It doesn't seem like it would 
be too difficult.  I wouldn't mind helping if there is an effort already 
underway.
