asterisk users - Aug 2005 - text till answer

hello!

i'm looking for a feature to play a sound-file containing a text until the
called party picks up the phone. i've already tried with the
'special' musiconhold-feature by adding the m-option at the end of DIAL
but it is not exactly what i want. the problem with the m-option is that the
file is played to a second caller at the same position as it was played to the
first caller, so when the second person calls, the text is played somewhere in
the middle of the track instead of the beginning. i only works when the file has
already been fully played(e.g. when there was enough time between the first and
the second call). i want to play a text for every caller(that is played from the
beginning) until the called party picks up the phone, is that possible? thank
you for all suggestions!

regards
chris

Nobody else needing this feature?
