Description:If I check out a fresh trunk version of Asterisk and compile and install, I have only a few translations available, and not enough to even play the default gsm sounds distributed with Asterisk.  Translation table is shown below in additional information.  As you can see there is only ulaw<->alaw translation available (and slin<->ilbc).  If I download and install a production version (1.4.15 for example) on the same server, translations show up normally (many more translations present).   I can reproduce this on multiple servers.

Something is very fishy here - I just ran a core show translations, and the results were laughable - at best.  I'm going to do some testing of this.

Try as I might, I haven't been able to reproduce this (exact) problem.

It would be very helpful if you could get more details.  I would start in main/translate.c - perhaps put some debugging in the loop that iterates through translators. I think the function name is recalc_cost().

I have the same issue and when starting asterisk i only get this in the log:

No more or less, no errors or so. And all the other codec's show up in module show like codec_

codecs.conf really shouldn't be mandatory..  it never had been before, so let's go back to being optional.
A big "thank you" to pnlarsson on IRC for allowing me access to his system to debug this.

Closes issue ASTERISK-11068.
