asterisk users - Jul 2005 - play message to callee before connect toincoming call

Thank you, Robert!

The announcementfile plays well, but at Dial-option "m" i have to
specify a MoH class,
that is something i cannot use (as i wrote in my post).

Background command waits for a user input, but the caller should be
connected to
SIP Phone 100 after it has answered and the announcement has been
played. Before
connecting to SIP Phone 100 the caller should hear a soundfile...

wiki says nothing about an Dial-option to play a soundfile to the caller
;-(

Rough pseudo-code follows, experiment and report your results to the 
list:

999 dial(SIP/100|20|m(soundfile)A(announcementfile))

OR

999 background(soundfile)
999 dial(SIP/100|20|A(announcementfile))

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.
