I am having a problem with "record_file" working properly depending on when it is called -- basically if it is called immediately upon a call, it acts like it does not hear anything from the callers phone (yes, my phone is setup properly and functions fine otherwise)... if I do a "background" or "festival" command before calling it, it works fine. Details below: -------- I have an AGI script that does the following: $AGI->exec('AGI',"festival.pl|\"Say Message.\""); $AGI->record_file('/tmp/test_audio','wav','#',5*1000); $AGI->exec('AGI',"festival.pl|\"O k\""); $AGI->stream_file('/tmp/test_audio','#'); $AGI->exec('AGI',"festival.pl|\"Done.\""); And it is called like this: [incoming] exten => _XX.,1,Set(__ORIG_EXTEN=${EXTEN}) exten => _XX.,n,Goto(RealEstate,s,1) [RealEstate] exten => s,1,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=2) exten => s,n,AGI(/etc/asterisk/agi/rephone.agi,${ORIG_EXTEN}) exten => s,n,Hangup() --------------- Then it works, to the extent that I hear the festival messages, and it waits 5 seconds during the recording time, and plays back 5 seconds of "dead air". It does not care if i type the # sign or not... and will not record any audio. (yes, my phone is working properly meaning i have audio both incoming and outgoing, I thought of that first). Now here is the catch -- if I add one line to incoming like this: exten => _XX.,1,Set(__ORIG_EXTEN=${EXTEN}) exten => _XX.,n,Background(blue-eyed-polar-bear) exten => _XX.,n,Goto(RealEstate,s,1) Then it works fine -- also if I change that Background line to a "festival" command, it works fine... I tried "SayAlpha" and it does not help. Also, if I make it so I have to press an extension number to activate the RealEstate section it does work. The above situation happens 100% of the time.... I am wondering if A) I am not doing some kind of initialization or "Answer" command on the incoming call, or B) there is some kind of bug where a communication channel is not getting opened to the AGI or to record_file?
