asterisk users - Aug 2009 - Cannot play soundfile, doesnt find it or wrong format? Weird, worked yesterday! :-)

I'm trying to play a wav-file on a channel.

This is what I see in the asterisk debug console

AGI Rx << STREAM FILE "test.wav" "12345"
[Aug 20 16:10:19] WARNING[25219]: file.c:602 ast_openstream_full: File test.wav
does not exist in any format

So it doesn't find the file, or it's in a wrong format?

I can listen to it with windows media player... it's a wave-file.
I even recorded it yesterday with asterisk recordFile as a wav-file.
And it did play yesterday! :)
Weird!

It's still in the same folder: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/

But even then, I get this error message mentioned.

Where should I search for the error?

I'm out of ideas

Can you play it from a Playback or Background command?  Did you try
streaming it without the .wav extension?  BTW,  you eat CPU trying to play
wav files across channels (gsm is preferable (IMO) ) and the file has to be
at 8000 Khz for Asterisk to like it.

Show us your dialplan. We need to know what you are putting in, rather  
than just what you are getting out.

Chances are you are putting '.wav' in your filename in the dialplan  
rather than missing it off.

Hi,

Try specifying the file without the extension on your AGI:

AGI Rx << STREAM FILE "test" "12345"

Just like the Playback() application, asterisk should look for the 
filename in any compatible format that it supports.

Cheers,

Format? Format is the "envelope." Codec is the algorithm used to
encode
and decode.

Try "sip show peer <peer-name>" to see which codecs are
configured
(allowed) for that peer.

Some variant of "show channel <channel-name>" will show you what
codecs
are being used by an in-progress call.

Is this the one you are talking about?

Do you mean that if I play MOH using any of the formats below, then
there will be no CPUs wasted for translation purposes?

sip show channels
iax2 show channels

Will also show you the codecs actually used by SIP/IAX channels
("calls").
