Ahh, thanks for clearing this up for me! Now I understand the difference.

Nope, turns out that according to the FS logs it was trying to play a
{uuid}.WAV file that it was expecting to still be there, but which was deleted
from a previous checking of voicemail. It's like the database of new messages
was out of sync with the message sound files in the mailbox on the server. I
deleted the 'ghost' voicemails from my mailbox and now things are back to
normal. That could have been a result of my experimentations, I doubt it was a
problem with FS.
Thanks for your help and keep up the outstanding work! I love FreeSWITCH. :-)
