vm_message_ext is a channel variable:
 http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_voicemail#vm_message_ext

file-extension is a parameter of the voicemail module:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_voicemail#file-extension

The former sets for a specific user, the latter for mod_voicemail in
general.

Is this perhaps a recording of silence, so that you might actually be
listening to a message?
