asterisk users - Apr 2009 - Voice mail does not contain a time?

Hello,

When a voice message is saved and e-mailed as a wav, the total time of the 
voice mail does not show up in, e.g., windows media player, why is this?

I have only used wav49/wav:

; Use wav49 format for all voicemail messages
format=wav49|gsm|wav

WAV is a pretty simple container format. The length is written in a very
expected place in the header:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.wav
  http://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/422/projects/WaveFormat/

E.g. the following:

wav_size() {
	LANG=C cut -b 41-44 "$1" | head -n 1 | hexdump -e
"\"$1:"'$1: %u\n"' | head -n 1
}
