asterisk users - Jul 2005 - play message to callee before connect toincomingcall

sorry for the misunderstanding, robert!

the point is: during the caller is listening to the soundfile played to
him
the dialplan should continue to dial the sip phone 100 and after sip
phone
100 is answered and the announcement file is played the caller should be
connected
to the sip phone 100.

the behaviour is just like MoH, but the problem is, that the caller has
to hear a
soundfile from the beginning, and MoH does not do this as the sound
files inside
the directory specified in musiconhold.conf are started when asterisk is
started.

an idea i had was to write an agi script which is called in dialplan
before i issue a
playback command to the caller, which is producing a callfile to call
sip phone 100,
but how can i "connect" these 2 calls afterwards? is there a
possibility
to connect
the answered sip phone 100 to the incoming call (that is still listening
to the playback
command)?

Noted, which is why I offered option two.

But it doesn't REQUIRE input. Background completes when then sound file 
ends. Are you saying you want to move on to announcing the call to the 
callee as soon as it comes in while the caller is listening to the 
soundfile?

I was following your sequential steps in your post, but if you intend 
to fork the process and be doing two things at once, then it's more 
complex.

Sure it does... BACKGROUND.

Ah, now that's a clearer picture of what you're after.

Perhaps you need to create a call file that then joins the two legs of 
the call afterwards?
