OK I'm probably confused on what you try to do so in this case just ignore the post.
BUT wouldn't be easier to install a softphone (X-lite on Win, or Kphone, or ....) and register it with your asterisk using the PA extension. By default the softphones are using the sound card (any supported sound card) Usually you connect a headphone and a microphone to the sound card but instead of this you will connect your PA or any speakerphone (Heck pass through an amplifier or your stereo or ...) Then whenever you like to make a PA dial the extension of the softphone.!!! Instead of hanging up put it on hold so it plays the MOH all the time (check the timeouts) This will cost around $0.00. I'm probably missing something here or it is the simplest solution that no-one is looking for ;) Multiple zones?? The same with multiple softphones. They can be on the same system and set them up using different sound cards for their output. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff G Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 2:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Paging using multiple sound cards Why *wouldn't* I bother? Using $5-$10 sound cards would be a much cheaper, professional, and more permanent solution than having a couple hacked phones laying near the PA system. Just trying to keep the setup clutter and problem free, as well as as cheap as possible. I'm not a developer, but I don't think it'd be too much of a pain to program the console channel driver to provide 2 output-only channels from a single stereo sound card. Maybe I'm wrong? Also - For another scenerio, I'd like to know if anyone has the MOH music playing full time, for both Asterisk and outputting to the sound card, so I can use the same music for a hardware PBX? I was thinking using a Slimserver might be the answer, but if the music is already set up in Asterisk, why not have it output it as well.
