[App_rpt-users] Asterisk and Echolink no direct connected radio

Still issues with Echolink Audio.

As a recap...
I have verified my firewall is not blocking ports.
I am able to register a node in Echolink with APP_RPT
I set Set rxchannel = Zap/pseudo in place chan_usb because I am not using a
hardware connection.
As a simple test I created a Extension that when I connect to Echolink from
a remote node I want Asterisk to answer the call and playback a sound then
close the connection.

[radio-secure]
exten => 2345,1,Answer
exten => 2345,n,Playback(tt-weasels,skip)
exten => 2345,n,Hangup

My asterisk log indicates it is playing back the sound file does not make it
to the calling Echolink station.


 *CLI> [Aug 14 11:45:36] NOTICE[16779]: chan_echolink.c:2189 do_new_call:
new CALL=W0IOU,ip=204.13.148.184,name=        Todd
    -- Executing [2345 at radio-secure:1] Answer("echolink/el0-12", "") in new
stack
    -- Executing [2345 at radio-secure:2] Playback("echolink/el0-12",
"tt-weasels|skip") in new stack
    -- <echolink/el0-12> Playing 'tt-weasels' (language '')
    -- Executing [2345 at radio-secure:3] Hangup("echolink/el0-12", "") in new
stack
  == Spawn extension (radio-secure, 2345, 3) exited non-zero on
'echolink/el0-12'


Any Idea's before give up.


Thanks Todd
