It's hard to tell from your email, but if I am correctly guessing what
your problem is, what you are saying is that you are deliberately
invoking mixmonitor in a call, but once the recording is finished, only
44 bytes are in the recorded file and when you play it you obviously
don't get any audio.  Generally this sort of problem means that you
didn't actually record any audio and it isn't actually a bug, it's
just
that you are trying to record something that isn't possible to record.
I've seen this happen with locally bridged analog phones and also with
some cases involving directmedia with SIP.  In order to be able to
comment specifically on your problem though, I'd need to know what kind
of channels you are using, specific details about them (like SIP
directmedia settings and such) and what your dialplan looks like.

Jayesh,

Is this machine x86?  There was a bug that was recently fixed and should show up
in 10.5.

Michael

Hello Michael,

Thanks a lot for your immediate help. After applying patch MixMonitor
started works normally,

I can understand that this can be Happen in asterisk 10.4 but as a stable
and Long support version 1.8.12.0 this should not happen. I got same error
in both version.

Anyways this patch solved my problem.

Best Regards,

44 bytes is very interesting, as this is the canonical length of a .wav 
header.  It sounds as though something is crashing immediately after the 
recording starts, leaving no data.
