Don't specify the file type. Asterisk will try to find a file encoded and 
formatted to match the encoding of the channel. Failing a match, Asterisk 
will try to find a file it can transcode to match the encoding of the 
channel.

Since you specified a relative path ('does not start with a slash'), 
Asterisk will prefix (by default) '/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/' to your 
path yielding:

 	/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/home/abejide/Desktop/a.*

is this what you want?
