[arm-allstar] can't get localplay to play sound file

[Doug Crompton]

Gary,

 When you play any audio file in Asterisk you do not put the extent on the
end.  So test.ul should be just test when you call it. The actual file
wherever it is located does retain the proper extent. In this case  test.ul
