asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Voicemail gain option NOT working in 1.4.11?

Hi Everyone,

I cannot seem to get the voicemail gain option g(#) work in Asterisk
1.4.11. I am using it like so...

Voicemail(4444 at mycontext,bg(10)) ; for busy announce and 10dB record gain

This has absolutely NO affect on the resulting voicemail wav file.

I have also tried using "format=wav" instead of wav49 in
voicemail.conf to increase the volume as well. This also has no affect
on the volume of the resulting wav file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as asterisk is unusable without
louder voicemail files.

My boxes are SIP only. Centos 5, x86_64 Pentium-D 3.0 with 4GB of ram.
Asterisk 1.4.11 was compiled from source with all default options.

Thanks!
David

I'm not sure how the gain option works as an argument to Voicemail(), but I
know
that the volgain option for e-mail attachments requires that you have sox 
installed in order to work properly. If you don't already have it installed,
I
would suggest installing sox and seeing if that helps.
