Problem with sox call in cs_helpers.py

[Simon N.]

Binary package hint: capisuite

Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit
Version: capisuite/jaunty uptodate 0.4.5-8ubuntu3

I get an error in /var/log/capisuite.error after a call is received on the answering machine and no mail is sent out:

Bug is in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/cs_helpers.py where sox is called with parameter -w which dos not work with current sox.
What works for me is calling sox without any parameters:
ret = os.spawnlp(os.P_WAIT,"sox","sox",attachment,basename+"wav")

The solution on http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/CapiSuite for Ubuntu 7.04 does NOT work for me (-X is not needed -v does not work on this place and is also not needed).

Indeed, the patch fixes the problem for me.
