[asterisk-users] Customisable In-band ringing?

2007-02-13 Thread Ray Jackson

All,

Using SIP with progressinband=yes I get Asterisk to generate the ringing 
sound for callers.  However, I was wondering if it is possible to 
configure what is 'played back' to the calling party?  i.e. instead of 
just 'ring ring' could I potentially play back a song from an MP3, WAV 
or GSM file?  I'm thinking it would be quite cool to offer a customised 
'ring' sound while the caller is waiting for you to pick up?  How can I 
do this with Asterisk or some external module perhaps?  Any advice welcome!


Cheers,
Ray

The 'm' option in the dial command, from memory.

Also search for early media - I'm under the impression that you may not need 
progressinband, as it is often undesirable.

Hi Ray - LTNS - got the VoIP bug too now then? :-)

The 'm' option has been mentioned, however that requires a separate 
music-on-hold class for each different sound, which would quickly become 
unmanageable.


Another chap was working on a similar problem - have a look at the 
asterisk-dev thread titled app_dial.c modification started by Darren 
Nay on the 24th Jan 2007. I don't know if he's got it working yet, but 
it might be worth getting in touch with him.


Cheers,
   Nic.

Been an addict for too long now... might have to seek rehab soon :-)

Thanks for the pointer.  I am using RealTime/MySQL queries for 
everything to avoid having to ever reload.  As you pointed out the 'm' 
flag relies on a class which must have already been created in 
musiconhold.conf first.  I was hoping there might be some way of 
dynamically telling Asterisk to play some inband Media without having to 
rely on static config.  I'll keep an eye on that thread and see if 
anything comes of it.


Cheers,
Ray

Quoting Ray Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


hey, why not just play a wav or mp3 of the other person talking instead of
actually placing a call at all ? Wouldn't that be even cooler ? :)

reminds me of the old dial 811 to hear a duck quack - someone with too much
time on their hands.
