the maxsilence setting doesn't really help, as I believe that only
limits how long we record for after voicemail has already started and silence
is detected. I don't want voicemail to record anything at all if the call has
been disconnected before the voicemail prompt starts.
Makes good sense.
If there is no speech, but simply x seconds of silence, the VM messges
should not even exist
What I don't understand is that this works fine on many regular
telephone answering machines, which are _much_ less advanced than
asterisk. If they can do it, why can't asterisk?
It certainly could, if someone were smart enough and willing to code it.
There generally seems more interest in adding new wiz bang features
rather than polish up what is already mostly working.
I mean, if I call my home line and wait for the answering machine message to
kick in, then hangup right before it starts recording, I don't end up with an
empty message, the system just disconnects me.
Many machines work this way even after they start recording, but there
is nothing but silence. Returned dial tone and line noise cause this to
fail, however.
