[arm-allstar] WARNING[8726]: app_rpt.c:8497 rpt_tele_thread: ast_streamfile failed on DAHDI/pseudo-693103568

[Doug Crompton]

Tom,

 My first thought is to use silence rather than null. It probably does not
like a null gsm file. The available files are -

/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/1.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/10.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/2.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/3.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/4.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/5.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/6.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/7.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/8.gsm
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/9.gsm

​You could either use them in place or copy one to the local directory. The
numbers represent the number of seconds of silence.​
