asterisk users - May 2006 - /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ prematurely hangingup

Just a shot in the dark... but have you tried Answer() before
Playback()?

hangingup

I have a PSTN termination provider "foo" which will
accept standard U.S. calls in the form 1<10 digit
ph#>.
I have an outbound route named "foo", with dial
pattern "5|.", with the only entry in trunk sequence
being "IAX2/foo".

I have an X-lite local extension, on which I can dial
51<10 digit ph#>, and asterisk will call out over foo
and the phone at <10 digit ph#> will ring. This rules
out a lot of possible problems.

extensions.conf includes this:
[outgoingtest]
exten => s,1,Playback(custom/testmsg)
exten => s,2,Wait(1)
exten => s,3,Hangup

And yes, asterisk has been restarted since the last
time any config files were modified.

I have a test message at
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom/testmsg.gsm

If I make the file "1.call" containing:
Channel: IAX2/foo
MaxRetries: 1
RetryTime: 5
WaitTime: 10
Context: outgoingtest
Extension: 1<10 digit ph#>
Priority: 1

and copy it to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
then the phone doesn't ring, but this shows up on the
asterisk console:
-- Attempting call on IAX2/foo for 1<10 digit
ph#>@outgoingtest:1 (Retry 1)
-- Hungup 'IAX2/foo-7'
-- Attempting call on IAX2/foo for 1<10 digit
ph#>@outgoingtest:1 (Retry 2)
-- Hungup 'IAX2/foo-8'

The "foo-7" and "foo-8" on the console are different
(numbers anywhere from 1 to 9) every time I try
copying the file to outgoing.

I tried using extension 51<10 digit ph#> instead of
1<10 digit ph#> in 1.call, but that didn't work
either.

Why is it failing?

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+tips+answer-before-playback
says "New versions of Asterisk have added "Answer"
capabilities to several functions like Playback(),
which means that those functions will answer
themselves if necessary."
That "new versions" is as of January 2005, and I'm
running asterisk@home 2.8, released April 2006.
