Thanks for the reply, Joshua. It would definitely be useful. I took a
look at FreePBX code to see how they handle call recordings in my
example scenario, and apparently they call a PHP script from dialplan,
which then controls recording via AMI connection. An awful lot of
effort, not to mention a performance hit. I am guessing they wouldn't do
it if there was any other way.
I am not surprised that this functionality does not exist, I know that
Asterisk development is difficult, but I am surprised there was no talk
about it. I might take a crack at this myself if my schedule clears up.
I am thinking, pre-bridge handlers already exist, and methodology for
pushing handlers onto a channel already exists. So one could figure it
out with some effort. Or am I being naive?

Hello,
I have been using Asterisk for years, and the one thing that I
believe
is sorely missing, but I can't find any mention of it on the
Internet,
and that is pushable pre-bridge handlers. In current setup, there are
following limitations:
1. Pre-bridge handler can only be attached to the B-leg channel,
not the
A-leg channel.
2. The handler will only be executed before a bridge resulting
from Dial
application, but a channel can be bridged multiple times during its
lifetime (by SIP attended transfer, for example).
So, for example, if I want to turn call recording on/off depending on
who the channel is bridged to, there is no way to do that via
dialplan
(that I know of).
There is a possibility to attach hangup handlers to any channel by
using
CHANNEL(hangup_handler_push), but no similar feature for pre-bridge
handlers, which are much more important, IMO. So, has there been any
discussion among developers about this topic?
I can't say I've heard anyone request or discuss such a thing
anywhere. That being said it sounds at face value like it could be useful.
