asterisk users - Aug 2007 - turn off music on hold for a single sip user

Is there a clean way to disable music on hold for a specific user sip
user?

 

I have seen one example that creates a class called [none] that points
to an empty directory, which creates log errors that are annoying (but
not harmful?)

How about using the same method but dial your recording extension with 
your phone on mute and leave it going for as long as you need.  It will 
then play a file with no audio and not throw any errors.

Thanks,

You could set a variable in the users sip.conf details like:

setvar=PlayMOH=NO

or

setvar=PlayMOH=NO


Then in your extensions.conf setup a GoToIf() which reads the variable
PlayMOH and either sets the "m" or the "r" in the dial
command..

This should work fine and I know it will work in 1.4.x but not sure
about earlier versions only because I am not sure how far back version
wise you can set a variable in the sip.conf. Maybe it's always been
possible, not sure.

Hope this helps.
