asterisk users - Sep 2005 - SayUnixTime in CVS?

Can anyone tell me what I missed? I'm trying to setup a simple extension
(400) that reports the time when it is dialed. I searched the threads and it
seems like this should work...

Here's what's in my extensions.conf:

exten => 400,1,Answer()
exten => 400,n,Wait,1
exten => 400,n,SayUnixTime(,EST5EDT,)
exten => 400,n,Playback(tt-weasels)


[BTW, tt-weasels is hillarious! ;-) Props to whoever made that. ]


When I call the extension, it answers and immediately falls through to
tt-weasels, which I hear fine. It's like SayUnixTime gets jumped over or
returns nothing (very quickly.) I checked and the "at" sound which is
used
by the default SayUnixTime format string is in place. Also, SayDigits and
SayNumber seem to work okay.

When asterisk starts up in verbose mode, it looks like SayUnixTime gets
loaded okay:

[app_sayunixtime.so]Sep 23 03:24:04 VERBOSE[3854] logger.c:
[app_sayunixtime.so] => (Say time)
== Registered application 'SayUnixTime'
== Registered application 'DateTime'


This is what is output from asterisk -vvv when I dial 400:

-- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'
-- Executing Answer("Zap/1-1", "") in new stack
-- Executing Wait("Zap/1-1", "1") in new stack
-- Executing SayUnixTime("Zap/1-1", "|EST5EDT|") in new
stack
-- Executing Playback("Zap/1-1", "tt-weasels") in new stack
-- Playing 'tt-weasels' (language 'en')
-- Executing Wait("Zap/1-1", "5") in new stack


Any ideas?

I've partially figured it out:

The voip-info.org <http://voip-info.org> wiki for SayUnixTime suggests
that
if you don't specify the 3rd parameter, it will default to:
ABdY 'digits/at' IMp

For some reason, for my setup, the default wasn't working when I left the
parameter blank. When I specified the format in the extensions line, it
works fine:
exten => 400,n,SayUnixTime(,EST5EDT,ABdY \'digits/at\' IMp )


I looked at the code and it seems to attempt to set the default format
string based on chan->language ... maybe my language isn't set up
correctly.

Anyway, hope that may be useful to someone.
