Dear Openpbx.org... i mean Callweaver Users,

Sorry to distract you all from the logo talk but I just downloaded  
right before the name change and got stuff off the openpbx.org site.  
I used the How To for Mac OS X from here:

        http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/OpenPBX.org+How+to+build+on+OSX% 
252FDarwin

The above did not cover how to install or make the sounds work. So at  
this point i have a working "openpbx.org" install (v 1.2 rc3) but  
without sounds working, so not to functional for voicemail, etc. I am  
really looking forward to getting this all working and moving into  
the VoIP phone age.

Here is what i posted at the wiki above on what i did to to try and  
get sounds working:

Sounds do not work

I followed the instructions here (no debug flags) and i could build  
everything fine on Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. After getting up a simple  
testing dialplan with two extensions (softphones X-Lite), voicemail  
and the echo test, i got these errors on the console when i dial the  
echo test:

    file.c:519 opbx_openstream_full: File demo-echotest does not  
exist in any format
    file.c:817ail*CLI> m opbx_streamfile: Unable to open demo- 
echotest (format gsm): No such file or directory
    app_playback.c:126 playback_exec: opbx_streamfile failed on SIP/ 
myphone-af42 for demo-echotest
    channel.c:2145 set_format: Unable to find a codec translation  
path from ulaw to gsm

After much searching on the net for any reference to any of this, and  
searching on my hard disk for 'demo-echotest' i realized that the  
sound files were just not there. Looking closer at both the guide  
above and the InstallGuide.txt, i saw that i needed to svn the  
openpbx sounds with:

    svn co svn://svn.openpbx.org/openpbx-sounds openpbx-sounds

which i did. The Makefile in this download uses a program called  
'sox' (not native on Mac OS X) run this way:

    sox -q  $$file -t gsm -r 8000 -c 1 -b $$out resample -ql; \

So i found 'sox' (sox-13.0.0.tar.gz) on the net here:

    http://sox.sourceforge.net/

I built it and installed it. Then i ran make for the openpbx-sounds  
which chugged along making what appears to be gsm files. Upon trying  
to open one with Quicktime Player, it plays and the "Movie Info" menu  
command produces info that says it is:

    GSM 10:1, Mono, 8.000 kHz

I then ran make install which told me to do this:

    Please use "./install --prefix=VALUE" to install openpbx-sounds

BEFORE i ran it with VALUE set to /usr/local/openpbx.org/var/data/, i  
looked at the script and saw that it could use a small improvement by  
changing the line:

    for file in `find * -name *.gsm`; do

to:

    for file in `find sounds -name *.gsm`; do

for cleanliness sake so it doesn't look in folders that don't have  
sound in it them. So it installed the files in the dir:

    /usr/local/openpbx.org/var/data/sounds/us_EN/MelanieTaylor

Well this didn't help since i continued to get the same errors for  
files not being found. I then made some guesses.

    1. Move the files out of MelanieTaylor dir up into us_EN -- still  
no work
    2. rename us_EN to just 'en' -- NEW error! Getting somewhere?

So now i get the following a whole lot of times when trying to do the  
echo test:

    chan_sip.c:3359 sip_rtp_write: Asked to transmit frame type 2,  
while native formats is 4 (read/write = 2/2)

then followed by at the end when i hangup:

    channel.c:2145 set_format: Unable to find a codec translation  
path from ulaw to gsm
    file.c:194 opbx_stopstream: Unable to restore format back to 2

I tried copying in the wav format files that come in the openpbx- 
sounds tarball but that doesn't help either.

And to be clear, no sound is coming out to my softphone. I can't  
leave a voicemail for the other extension nor does the echo test work.

I am unix developer from way back and so command lines don't bother  
me. I appears that people have this working on Mac OS X Tiger but i  
don't see how with what i have come up against. At this point i would  
have to start delving into the code a lot more than i have already to  
try and figure out what is up.

So i am looking for any help in making the sounds work on Mac OS X.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Peace,
Dan
