OK. I understand now that application say and function say_string are not exactly equivalents.

To use function say_string you need to properly set sound_prefix to something like
sound_prefix=/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie

This is not needed when you use application say because of configurations like this:
./conf/lang/en/en.xml:  <language name="en" say-module="en" sound-prefix="$${sounds_dir}/en/us/callie" tts-engine="cepstral" tts-voice="callie">

So I just need to set the sound_prefix as appropriate.

Further search makes it clear that say_string will generate relative paths.
Then, FS will use some variables to resolve the absolute path:

sound_prefix = "/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds"
default_language = "en"

But what else needs to be set so that
  time/mon-4.wav
becomes something like:
  /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie/time/8000/mon-4.wav
?

Hello,
before I open a Jira ticket, as I might be overlooking something.

I am trying to use say_string. Documentation is lacking so all we have is here:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_say

But when I try to use it in the CLI i get:

freeswitch@192.168.2.154@internal> eval ${say_string en.wav en current_date_time pronounced ${strepoch()}}
file_string://time/mon-4.wav!digits/19.wav!digits/2.wav!digits/thousand.wav!digits/14.wav!time/at.wav!digits/1.wav!time/oclock.wav!time/p-m.wav

As we can see, say_string is not generating full path to the files so when i try to use it with application playback for example I get "FILE NOT FOUND" response from FS.

The say application itself works, so I suspect this is a bug, but since this behaviour happens with both latest head

I am inclined to think I am missing some configuration for this to work.
