asterisk users - Jan 2007 - Streaming audio file while working in background ?

Hey All,

 

Is there an app available, or another method, to stream an audio file to
a caller while performing additional actions in the background?
Regardless of whether DTMF is received or not from the caller.  I had
originally thought that I could use the "Background" app for this but
after further investigation found that Background is primarily for
playing audio and waiting for DTMF, and it seems it won't do what I need
in this situation.

 

Ideally I would like to be able to play an audio file to the caller
while making outbound calls in the background (via the Dial app) and
then discontinue the audio file stream and bridge the calls once an
outbound call is connected.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this with * ?

 

Thanks in advance,

Darren Nay

Dial(ZAP/g1/18005551212,90,m) m will play music on hold while the call rings.

Maybe you can execute a macro when the called party answers and still
provide music on hold or something to the caller, this is done with the
opcion 'M' of the Dial app.

Look at the Example Nr 2.
