asterisk users - Jul 2004 - Collect recording before sending to extension or queue

Has anyone does this with *?

Ie, ask for the caller's name and provide that to the callee before
bridging?

For calls to an extension, it should be doable via the dialplan.  For
calls to queues, some changes would be required to app_queue.c to
allow an addional file to be played after the announce message.

I have a patch for chan_agent that allows you to play a 
Pre-Acknowledgement message.

Take a look at this patch

I've been using it for some time now to simply record the name of the 
caller and allow me to accept/reject the call based on what is played back.
