asterisk users - Mar 2008 - ztdummy problem causing playback () to fail

Hi, I am having problem with my Asterisk installation and find out it
has to do with ztdummy.

if the ztdummy module is loaded, the asterisk playback() command
will not play files. DTMF is still properly received. If the ztdummy
module is unloaded, sound playback works again.

Here is my version
zaptel-1.4.9.2
linux-source-2.6.18
asterisk-1.4.18


Can anyone tell me how to fix it?  Or should I just have ztdummy
removed forever and the system will work?

I saw from manual that ztdummy is required.

Thanks,
Pete

ztdummy is required by meetme application. If you have no intention to
use it, you might very well remove.

I've seen this problem once, however recompiling everything and
restarting helped me. I would suggest you just doing "make clean" on
zaptel and asterisk, then compile first zaptel, then asterisk.

What Linux distribution is it?

What is the output of 'zttest -v -c 6' ?
