asterisk users - Sep 2008 - how to disallow the native bridge between the two channel

Hi,
  
   To disallow the native bridge between the zap channels, i enabled the t flag
in the Dial application. But i dont want to allow the callee/caller to transfer
the call.

Could you please tell me if any configuration needs to set in such a way
to disallow the native bridge?

 I am knowing about the w option in Dial application for disallowing the native
bridge, but i am not interested to change the dial application arguments. I am
expecting that can this be set through any configuration file(as configuration
value)?


Asterisk version : 1.4.21.2


regards,
balasam

Why would you need this? It should just take media processing away
from your CPU.

Alternatively you can enable Monitor/MixMonitor, it should keep
Asterisk in media path.

Hi,

This should probably belong to list, as I don't have all answers :)

As I understand, you don't want recording unless you start it by AMI.

Theoretically AMI action Monitor should destroy native bridge and
re-bridge call trough Asterisk. It could be a bug, or just
unimplemented feature.

So, i could suggest starting Monitor before Dial command into
temporary dir, and then erase unnecessary recordings.. That way, AMI
Monitor will simply override previous and you will get recording where
you want, and bridge won't be native.

Hi,
  
 Thanks for your apt response.

 I also tried by starting the recording before the dial command through  AMI.
But in that scenario also, there are some issue such that both the streams are
not getting updated at the same time. Sometimes one stream takes nearly 2
seconds to getting updated. Here i require both the stream updation needs to be
happening at the same time. And this voice updation issue is not there when i
included the t option in Dial application.

Kindly give your suggestion on this.

Asterisk version - 1.4.21.2

Thanks,
balasam.
