Bug 2019.1.1: WAAPI returns non-localized SoundBank file path when querying localized SoundBank

Question

Hello Wwise,

I found an issue when querying localized SoundBank file path via WAAPI. 

Test setup

• Version: Wwise 2019.1.1
• OS: Windows 10
• Project: IntegrationDemo
• Case: Query the localized SoundBank: Human by GUID

from waapi import WaapiClient

with WaapiClient() as client:
    # NOTE: client will automatically disconnect at the end of the scope
    query = {
        "from": {"id": ['{8C1E28D2-566C-4D29-B544-2610D577A12C}']},
        "options": {"return": ["id", "name", "type", "soundbank:bnkFilePath"]}
    }

    result = client.call("ak.wwise.core.object.get", query)
    print('WAAPI result: {}'.format(result))

On my machine, soundbank:bnkFilePath turns out to be:

'C:\\\\Audiokinetic\\\\Wwise_2019.1.1.6977\\\\SDK\\\\samples\\\\IntegrationDemo\\\\WwiseProject\\\\GeneratedSoundBanks\\\\Windows\\\\Human.bnk'

which is unexpected: It should be 

'C:\\\\Audiokinetic\\\\Wwise_2019.1.1.6977\\\\SDK\\\\samples\\\\IntegrationDemo\\\\WwiseProject\\\\GeneratedSoundBanks\\\\Windows\\\\<Language>\\\\Human.bnk'

If no current language specified, IMHO, this had better return a list of paths, each corresponding to a valid language of the project.

Similarly, if a SoundBank has mixed localized and non-localized content, one would expect the query to return the paths to all existing BNK files.

Hope this helps.
