asterisk users - May 2007 - Additional commands for MeetMeAdmin

Would anybody mind if the the following command options where added to
MeetMeAdmin?

0 - 9, * and #

I'm considering hacking the code to add these commands to play the
DTMFs to the specified user as tones and hope that the SIP or IAX
channels then work with these correctly.

-HJC

meetme DTMF doesn't work very well in SIP or IAX even if set to
inband. I had to resort to playing DTMF tones as audio files to get it
working for SIP and IAX, not a pretty thing.

I'm sure no-one minds what you do to your own copies of Asterisk! :-)

Rather than create that many commands, why not have a d or D command
(for digit, or dtmf), and then the 0-9, *, #, A-D as a parameter to
that command?

Hmmm, what problem are you trying to solve?

In Asterisk 1.4 and Trunk, there is an option to MeetMe for passing DTMF
frames through the conference. Your command should not generate tones, but
should use conf_queue_dtmf() to queue the dtmf into the conference. That way,
the DTMF is delivered to each participant channel as an asterisk DTMF frame,
and the channel can then handle it in a way appropriate to the technology
(e.g. Zap channels would re-generate tones, VoIP channels would deliver
DTMF control packets, etc).
