asterisk users - Dec 2010 - 1.8.1: playing imaginary sound files

But there is no /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/100/unavail.gsm', 
indeed no unavail.gsm on the machine.

[asterisk at asterisk ~]$ find /var/spool/asterisk -name unavail.gsm
[asterisk at asterisk ~]$

There is a wav file:

[asterisk at asterisk ~]$ ls /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/100/
INBOX  Old  tmp  unavail.WAV  Urgent

puzzled.

The voice mail application usually saves in both .gsm and .wav by 
default.  (At least under 1.4.x)  I have several unavail.gsm files in 
the mail folders of several phones.

Depending on the codec you are using, Asterisk "transcodes" other
files into
the format it needs for that codec.

P.S. unavail.WAV is probably a GSM 6.10 file.
