Indeed, I did mean T.30.
I've opened the files in Audacity, they look clean. I'm trying to figure out
why I sometimes get FAXOPT(statusstr)=remote channel hungup,
FAXOPT(error)=HANGUP, and FAXOPT(status)=FAILED when the fax appears to have
been received correctly. I'm also trying to figure out why sometimes the fax
fails in the middle of the page. The local interface is PRI.

That will depend a lot on what you mean by 'debug'. We have found them useful
to determine whether the audio path was 'clean' or not. For example, loading
them into Audacity and looking at a spectral plot will tell you whether there
were any extreme spikes, which usually are indicative of packet loss. You can
also use them to look at the timing of the protocol interactions (delay between
transitions between sending and receiving).
If your goal is to actually demodulate the audio into data and then interpret
the T.30 transactions, I'm not aware of any easily available tools for doing
that. Commetrex (the vendor of the FAX stack in
res_fax_digium) has one that they use for helping to analyze problems, but I
don't believe they make it available outside their company. There might be
something in spandsp, but I haven't looked.

I have never attempted to open them with Windows Media Player, so can't be of
much help there. I know that Audacity will open them and play the audio
properly, because that's what we used when we developed this 'audio capture'
feature.
