Description:	Right now, when streaming a file, there's no way to rapidly know which file extension is currently playing. This patch allow you to see the specific file format which is playing. I'll explain a bit more: Imagine you have many formats in the same basedir, ulaw and alaw. If you stream a specific file, based on the driver, you won't know if it's ulaw or alaw. So if someone reports sound quality problem with a specific sound, you have to perform more operations to find out in which file format has small issue. Example, Before:    -- Playing 'vm-youhave' (language 'en') So you dont know if the quality issues is in ulaw or alaw. Now:    -- Playing 'vm-youhave.alaw' (language 'en') So you could easily report issue to the sound engineers. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** Since, there's some issues with some format sounds (http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=8869), im sure knowing the format could help.

By: Clod Patry (junky) 2007-02-19 13:11:01.000-0600 Latest attachment work like it should, with or without transcoding. By: Serge Vecher (serge-v) 2007-02-19 14:21:52.000-0600 I think the top block should be marked as debug output within an if block - I don't believe this info is useful, unless debugging is wanted. By: Clod Patry (junky) 2007-02-19 14:23:39.000-0600 that block is already #ifdef. By: Russell Bryant (russell) 2007-03-06 19:06:59.000-0600 This has been added to the trunk in rev 58208, thanks!
