Description:After updating the latest CVS, international sounds doesn't work anymore. My dialplan looks like:

exten => s,1,SetLanguage(zh)
...
exten => s,7,BackGround(greeting)

I have my greeting sounds in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/zh/greeting.gsm.
But now Asterisk can't find it. I have to move it to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/greeting.gsm to play it.

Older CVS(probably 1-2 weeks ago) didn't have this problem.

Same here.

Can be worked arround without moving the files using:

[cut]
exten => s,2,BackGround(<lang>/<file>)
[/cut]

Fixed in CVS, thanks!

Not an issue in stable.

Thanks for the fix.
Now it works for SIP driver, but for H.323 driver it still doesn't work. It complained like this:

   -- Executing BackGround("H323/ip$10.0.0.1:55893/14519", greeting") in new st ack
Apr 21 16:01:56 WARNING[27721]: file.c:489 ast_openstream_full: File greeting doe s not exist in any format

Any idea?
Is it because H.323 driver does not support 'language' keyword?

This is not the same problem; look at the error message closely.

You have a caller coming in using G.723, and you want to play audio to them. Asterisk cannot do that, because it does not have a G.723 codec, and the audio file is not available already stored in G.723 format (and Asterisk doesn't understand G.723 files anyway).

You cannot play prompts/audio files to peers using codecs that you can't support except in pass-through mode.

I do install Intel IPP codec_g723.so in Asterisk so it can talk to SIP, H.323, MGCP endpoints using G.723.1 without problem, at least for older CVS. Now with the newest CVS
* SIP and MGCP phone can play the audio using G.723.1
* If I put the sound file in /var/..../sounds instead of
/var/..../sounds/zh, H.323 endpoint can find and play it.
So the codec is not a problem.

Now I solved the problem by hardcode 'zh' to chan_h323.
I may provide a patch to add 'language' support to chan_323 later.

Please do not reopen a bug when the initial problem has already been solved. If there is a problem with the H.323 channel driver, then a new bug should be opened referencing that problem specifically.
