asterisk users - Oct 2008 - How to implement Ringing through a sound card for overhead paging

Hi,
I have followed this guide
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Setting+up+paging+with+a+sound+card
 and have paging working ok, now I need to implement 'ringing'.
When someone calls I need the ringing to be send to overhead paging through
the sound card.
Any pointers?
 
 
Sincerely,
Robert Augustyn

I have recorded a sound effect, use a callfile to play the file via the 
sound card.  I have a very short timeout for that extension.  I just 
jump back to the beginning on the context, play the sound effect and 
then ring the phone again.  Code below:


;******************************************************
;* If Press extension is dialed after 5pm, play bull
;* Horn sound effect to get pressman's attention
;******************************************************

[night_bell]

exten => 4173,1,GotoIfTime(07:45-16:59|mon-fri|*|*?press-officehours,s,1)
exten => 4173,2,System(/bin/cp /usr/local/bin/bullhorn.call 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/bullhorn`date +%s`.call)
exten => 4173,3,Dial(SIP/4173,15,tTkK)
exten => 4173,4,Goto(night_bell,4173,1)


<bullhorn.call>

Channel: Console/dsp
MaxRetries: 0
Application: playback
Data: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/local/bullhorn

Ok then how do you make that an night_bell as your extension?

Hi!
   I have a different approach. I wrote a small application which simply starts 
an audio player. You can write a very small script to answer fast or just use 
telnet like this:
telnet localhost 8642
   At the moment everything is hardcoded, but can be changed in any case. I use 
15s ring-time, telnet-port 8642 and mplayer as the audio-player.
   Short note: You don't have to submit anything over telnet, just connect.
   If you're interested in this solution I'll upload the code and give
you a
dialplan example (it's based in the return code of the program.
   Kindest regards
           Julien
