I am trying to write a simple answering machine in Python. However can't play a sound. The call is handled correctly.
audio.say doesn't say anything
and s.play crashes

import telephone
import e32
import audio

callstate=0

def playsound():
    global s
    s = audio.Sound.open('E:\\Sounds\\hello.mp3')
    s.play()
    e32.ao_sleep(1)
    s.close()

def calla(event):
    print event
    global callstate
    s=event[0]
    if s==3:
        print 'answering'
        e32.ao_sleep(1)
        telephone.answer()
        callstate=3

telephone.incoming_call()


telephone.call_state(calla)

while True:
    e32.ao_sleep(1)
    if callstate==3:
        callstate=99
        audio.say('Hello')
        playsound()
        e32.ao_sleep(2)
        telephone.hang_up()
        

app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()
app_lock.wait()

I saw a similiar question but couldn't find an answer.
Is there any workaround?
I am using E90 and Python 1.4.2 final.

Actually audio.say does say the word "Hello" but at a very low volume (I don't know why).

As for the crash when trying to play the sound, you used the variable name s for both event[0] and the sound file. Rename one of them and try again so it won't crash, but I don't think this will play the sound: I got KErrPermissionDenied, so playing a sound while a phone call is open probably conflicts with the OS's way of doing things (in this case it pauses sounds while the phone is ringing and a call is answered).

From PythonForS60_doc_1_3_1.pdf

Calling play while a telephone call is ongoing plays the sound file to uplink. In some
devices the sound file is also played to the device speaker.

So this is what an official documantation says.
But even when I run separate script during telephone call it doesn't play sound.

Hi pantomas,

I tried this on my 6680 and it works fine, It is able to play the sound file during an ongoing call with low volume ofcourse as its playing to uplink. I will soon try this on E90 and let you know.

Best Regards,

Curious!
I will try on E51. Maybe this problem is E90 related?
That's sad. E90 is my primary device
