That question predates my involvement in the project. I can only guess it's
because the default values can be changed as a result of how Asterisk is
built, so if it wasn't a template then the user expectation would be
confusing because it would override what the user actually built Asterisk
to do by default. The file could be potentially generated at build time,
but noone has done that or changed it otherwise.

Well, I totally missed the ‘(!)’ part, that makes sense.

Unfortunately this template is nowhere used in the other documented example 
settings (whether they are commented out or not) and also the wiki is not very 
verbose about it: 
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Main+Configuration+File.
Just curious what was the reasoning behind making this a template that is never 
used?

Hey there!

I have a question regarding res_http_media_cache module and the astcachedir 
setting in asterisk.conf:

We see files are cached by this module in /tmp (/tmp/bucket-.wav16) 
regardless of what we set for astcachedir in asterisk.conf (tried 
/tmp/asterisk).
Is this a bug?

Is directories uncommented such that it is applied? By default it is a 
template, and thus not actually used.
