Bug#1060289: linphone: why are there ringtones in mkv encapsulated opus and the only thing it is able to use are wav files?

[Mr. T]

Package: linphone
Version: 4.2.5-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: t at treaki.tk

Dear Maintainer,

i tried to change the ringtone, because the default one was a big basic,
i tried those wich are also there at /usr/share/sounds/linphone/rings
but the only one tht worked was the default one

i assumed that the one there would work, there where no error message
but it wasnt ringing anymore eiterh. So i tryed to convert one of them
using ffmpeg, to mp3 and opus (without some mkv container) but both
didnt work, only thing that worked was converting it to microsoft .wav
file so, strage i guess that it didnt work with anything else then the
most basic audio file and the one provided with are more elaborated then
anything normally there, i mean opus on its own is high but then also in
an matroska container. At least i guess it should support de facto
standarts like an basic mp3 files..

please fix that and if you cant, just convert those mkv files to wav

thanks and keep up the good work
