Description:I was figuring that since speex had a high quality but cost a lot to encode, that I'd crunch my (enormous set of) files down to speex format and use them that way when I had a clear codec path... Asterisk does default to selecting a speex encoded file when its codecs are speex, but is unable to decode the file because there is as yet no "format_speex" module (as kevin said in email on asterisk-dev).

My suggestion would be to have format_ogg_vorbis (which is presumably what handed the invalid file back up to ast_filehelper) not allow .spx formatted files by default for now....


****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

playing back speex encoded files this way cuts transcoding overhead enormously... but also sounds like noise. :) Scratching my head for where to stick a patch or how to convince format_ogg_vorbis to decode speex.

somewhat related to this...

# I recompiled sox for madlib support. The resulting polyphase conversion is
# much better than what madplay outputs by default
sox $base.mp3 -r 8000 $base.wav polyphase -w ham # seems to give best results

format_ogg_vorbis should only handle files with an extension of "ogg".  Can you provide the console output displaying your problem?
