asterisk users - May 2010 - Asterisk Call Recording *1 Status Indication

When you press *1 in Asterisk (1.6.2.7) to start/stop call recording,
the console CLI> shows:
> User hit '*1' to record call. filename:
wav,auto-1273791789-103-5551212,m
Is it possible to play a sound to back to the person who pressed *1 to
indicate to them that recording has actually started or stopped?
Something like "Recording" / "Record Off", or else sounds
like people
are used to hearing when they plug/unplug a USB device into a PC.

Also, I'd also like to have the completed recording go to the person's
voicemail box as a message if that's possible when the recording stops
by toggling *1 or the parties hang up, if anyone has suggestions for
doing that or can point to a link.

Thanks much!  S.
