asterisk users - Apr 2003 - first few seconds of greeting cut-off

When a person calls into the Asterisk voicemail or auto attendant, the first
second or two are cut-off. This happens with custom prompts I have created
(with or without 1 or 2 second delays) and with the default prompts that
come with Asterisk. 

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I'm running the current CVS. My default menu config is:

[mainmenu]
;
; We start with what to do when a call first comes in.
;
exten => s,1,Wait,1                     ; Wait a second, just for fun
exten => s,2,Answer                     ; Answer the line
exten => s,3,DigitTimeout,5             ; Set Digit Timeout to 5 seconds
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,10         ; Set Response Timeout to 10 seconds
exten => s,5,BackGround(ebcgreet)       ; Play the EBC Greeting
exten => 9,1,Goto(companydir,s,1)
;
; end [mainmenu]
;

Thanks,

If you don't use ADSI analog phones check if you have adsi=yes in
zapata.conf. If you do then comment it out.

For voicemail I always put 2 seconds of delay, as well as for the company
directory.  This works for me.  I don't explicitly answer the phone,
though...

I have:

;
; Company Directory
;
exten => 1288,1,Wait(2)
exten => 1288,2,Directory(default)
exten => 1288,3,Hangup

;
; Voicemail
;
exten => 1289,1,Wait(2)
exten => 1289,2,VoicemailMain
exten => 1289,3,Goto(1289|1)
