GenericPLC setting in codecs.conf.sample

Hello,

Before migrating traffic to a new 22.5.2 one, I read the output of asterisk -rx ‘core show settings’. I saw specifically:

‘Generic PLC: Disabled’

This 22.5.2 instance have been complied from source with initial :etc/asterisk being set with ‘make basic-pbx’. With this command, no /etc/asterisk/codecs.conf is present.

At the same time, in codecs.conf.sample, I can see:

genericplc => true

My question is:

Is it correct to expect that when codecs.conf file is missing, then Asterisk adopts default values which are readable in codecs.conf.sample ?

If negative, beside reading source code, is there a method to read this default values ?

Alternatively, is it a simple inconsistency between codecs.conf.sample content and Asterisk code ?

Best regards

The configuration file is old and does not appear to actually document default values. The default appears to be disabled, since the creation of the genericplc option from what I can tell.
