I have the same exact issue. I cannot push any sounds or even Playtones to the caller, unless the channel is answered, which is not possible for billing reasons. I am also using the Local channel & Dial(PJSIP/...). I think this is a bug in Asterisk 13. The Dial function has not answered yet, so the Local channel should be able to play anything to the caller, without answering, in parallel with Dial. Should I open a JIRA ticket?
