Description:Many people report this issue.  It can best be described as consistent clicks and pops that are 100% reproducible in exactly the same way every time a certain sound file is played.

Someone from the asterisk-user newsgroup determined that it is a problem with Asterisk not padding the files to even 20ms intervals.

If anyone else wants to try this experiment I've enclosed the simple C program I wrote below. If you compile it and call it padulaw here is how I fixed all the files:

find /var/lib/asterisk/sounds -type f -name '*.ulaw' | xargs padulaw

This program could be easily modified to pad .sln files to a multiple of 320 bytes (the files would be padded with 0x0000 rather than 0xff).  For Alaw it would be 0x55.


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

Hopefully we can get this fix/functionality incorporated into Asterisk at some point.

The second half of the description is a cut and past from the post on the mailing list.  It is not my code.  I am simply posting the explanation and code from the mailing list to here

mustardman, did you get your disclaimer sent ?

Not trying to be rude and I do want to help this community.  I feel these requirements are too much trouble for me to go through just to try pass on the knowledge.

Sorry

closing because we won't be getting a disclaimer
