asterisk users - Apr 2006 - Suggested MeetMe feature: 'i' without review.

I recently setup app_meetme with the 'i' option. My boss wants users to
say their name and go directly into the conference instead of reviewing
the recording.

If anyone else is interested in this behavior becoming an option, has a
suggestion what letter to use as the option (I was thinking 'i' -- with
review and 'I' -- without review), or anything else, I'd appreciate
some
feedback.

Funny, I did just the same thing yesterday. All it involved was changing
the line (in app_meetme.c):

res = ast_record_review(chan, "vm-rec-name", user->namerecloc, 10,
"sln", &duration, NULL);

to be:

res = ast_play_and_record(chan, "vm-rec-name", user->namerecloc,
10, "sln", &duration, 128, 1000, NULL);

The 1000 is the number of milliseconds of silence to detect end of name,
so the use doesn't even have to press #. While doing this, I uncovered
a bug in the truncation of the trailing silence (it didn't). See bug
number 6903 on Mantis for the fix.

I guess it might be useful to have both options. Personally, I think having
the review and confirm step is just a waste of time, and I've never heard
it on a commercial conferencing system, so I would be happy with a permanent
change of behaviour.
