Hi list, Running Asterisk 1.4.10: When using the M() option for Dial to execute a macro, then executing a Read within the macro, once streaming of the audio file specified in Read has completed, and the channel attempts to read input from the destination channel where the macro is executed, the source channel stops ringing/moh, and audio from the source is bridged into the destination. I have tried various options to the Read application, but none have altered the results. An example of the behaviour: Calling party on channel SIP/YYY dials XXX, hits dialplan: exten => XXX,1,Dial(SIP/ZZZ,,mM(mymacro)) Macro looks something like: [macro-mymacro] exten => s,1,Playback(somefile) ;This plays fine on channel SIP/ZZZ exten => s,n,Read(somevar,audioprompt) ;audioprompt plays fine, then immediately after playing the prompt, channel SIP/ZZZ starts hearing audio data from SIP/YYY, moh stops on SIP/YYY, however no audio from SIP/ZZZ is sent to SIP/YYY until the macro exits exten => s,n,Playback(someotherfile) ;This and subsequent audio from the macro is not heard on either channel Once the macro finishes, audio is passed between the two channels as expected, however there is obviously something very wrong happening in app_read for the channel to be what appears to be partially bridged before the macro completes, though I can't see what it is. I thought it might be answering the chan, but the 'n' option to Read should skip around this, and has no effect. I've searched the bugtracker to no avail, full debug gives no useful data that I can see - is this a known bug, and does anyone have a workaround? Regards, Peter Fern
