asterisk users - Jul 2010 - 1.8.0 beta2: courtesy tone being played to callee

Hi.  I am using *1 in features to initiate a mix monitor recording.
However, when I hit *1, the callee hears the courtesy tone which I have,
so I know when the recording is started or stopped.  This is a problem,
particularly in automated system where the beep is mistaken for a tone
or other problems.

Should I file a bug, or is this going to be fixed?

you spend it?

This doesn't really sound like a bug to me, but it's hard to tell 
without any debugging information.

Please provide the configuration you're using along with the console 
output of the dialplan showing what is happening during a call. Likely 
because you're executing (a macro?) on the other channel, that whatever 
tone you're executing is being played to the other channel because 
you're executing the entire feature on the other channel. I'm just 
speculating at this point though.
