pin

Perhaps someone is writing, or has written, an AGI script to fetch
current weather conditions and spit it out to callers?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] New sounds also now in CVS

2004-01-20 Thread Chris Lee
As a sugestion, store the sounds in a soundlib tree, hashed or 
categorised (boolean (yes, no, true,false, up, down etc.),numbers, 
caledar(day, date, time etc), state, weather etc) and dont duplicate any 
sounds then make a sounds tree with virtual categories and sim link to 
the files needed.
This keeps the directory sizes down and allows for sound sets to be 
built up with all the words they use in them.
It also allows sounds to be added as needed rather than requiring all 
sounds to be part of a distribution.

A couple of things, searching a directory for a specific name tends to be
a linear search through the directory (unless the filesystem uses binary
trees, like ReiserFS...), ls is a bad example of a command, it is more of
a worse case example.
ls will read the entire directory, sort it, then do a stat() on every file
listed.  All of this is done before it formats the output.  So, you have to
wait until it is all done, before you see the first character output.

Is probably not the best way to handle it, but you could store all sounds
in one directory and then create another directory that has subdirectories
like weather.  The items that are most frequently used would then be
symlinked to the original sound directory.  Just another way of organizing
it.  If someone wanted a sound to be included in the sub-directory, they
could easily do a ln -s...

How about a hashed directory structure?  Something like this would be
easily human and machine readable.  This can also be an opportunity to
lay the groundwork for internationalization.

Numbers and digits would have their own directories, as would the demo
phrases, agent and voicemail sounds.

  .../sounds/en/o/n/on.gsm
  .../sounds/en/days/1.gsm
  .../sounds/en/months/0.gsm
  .../sounds/en/numbers/h-19.gsm

great!!

but when will asterisk use some of these new babies?;))
it would be really great to have app_queue saying you are currently caller
number 7 in the queue (=you-are-curr-call-num.gsm + 7.gsm +
in-the-queue.gsm)

that would be really really great.

when speaking of app_queue. i think it would also make sense to have some
announces during the music-on-hold, maybe even different stages (like
please hold the line, we are sorry that we weren't able to connect you by
now, ...). music-on-hold plays for a given time and then the first
announcement comes, than music-on-hold again, after that the second
announcement (or, if only one is defined, the first announcement again).

app_queue is the most important application for everybody who has to handle
support-calls.

sorry for my bad english ;))

Re: [Asterisk-Users] New sounds also now in CVS

2004-01-18 Thread dpobanz

Quoting John Todd [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 
  
As to the specifications of directories for sounds in certain  
 groups: yes, I think that is a good idea, but I am unsure how to  
 implement it.  Mark and I touched on that last night while adding the  
 sounds to the CVS server, but I told him not to create a separate  
 directory for weather terms because it would be difficult splitting  
 the sounds into categories, which is perhaps only laziness on my part. 
I thought that in the future it would be difficult to determine  
 what words should be put in their own directories versus what words  
 should be moved to the main directory.  As an example, if one were  
 to do a network monitoring list of sounds (which, actually, I have  
 had Allison already do now that I look at my archives) then a partial  
 list of sounds would be up, host, down, dns and ping.  The  
 terms host and ping clearly should be in a directory with  
 monitoring sounds.  But... where would down go?  It's generic  
 enough that it should really go in the main directory.   However,  
 it's specifically a part of the monitoring sound set.  So where does  
 it go?  I couldn't come up with an answer on this, so I just ignored  
 the question for now.  :-)  Opinions welcome. 
 
It will probably be impossible to divide audio clips into different 
directories without duplication of clips or massive headaches determining 
direcories. My suggested method of handling this is to have all of the sounds 
in one directory and create multiple indexes. Each index would have listed all 
words/phrases for the topic. For example all weather terms would be placed in 
a weather index. Any phases needed for weather would be in here even if it 
appears in other indexes such as a time index or a monitoring index. The 
index would point to the actual audio clip of this common directory.  
 
The index for each topic could be a text file with a list of phrases with 
their corresponding file name. So there would be as many files (indexes) as 
catogories (ie Weather, monitoring, etc). When an audio clip was added it woud 
be added to one or more of these index files.  
 
We use a similar method on our intranet for indexing pdf files of USDS sheets.  
 
:|  
Upon further thought, perhaps an index could include another index. The index 
for numbers comes to mind since almost all of the others may include this 
one. Would we really want to repeat all of the numbers in an index?  
 
Anyhow, maybe I am just talking myself into a corner.  
 
Take the suggestion just as a point for further discussion.

And/or, all sound files in one directory, with a separate directory for
each topic consisting of symbolic links to the real sound files.

That's how I currently handle things on my systems.

Ideas welcome for more text; I may have another timeslot with Allison
early next week in which there will be some leftover room for additional
words.  Short phrases and meaningful sets of words for existing

even thought out yet.
I don't know where to look to find out if these phrases already exist, so 
forgive me if they do.  These are both used on my NorTel NAM II voice mail

features (not only thought out, but written) that could use these phrases, 
IMHO.

For exact intonation of the below, Allison can dial 805/692-2323 and then 
x234.  You'll hear the first two messages after dialing x234.  To hear the 
third message, one must wait for the voice mail, wait for the BEEP, then 
*don't say anything* for a few seconds.

please speak louder, or speak directly into the telephone to ensure a

I just found another thread showing where the files are hiding.  Thank you 
for recording the first two below already - greatly appreciated.  Please 
note that the third is a new one, however.

The first two phrases are complete, and in the CVS repository, and if 
installed on your system, in /var/lib/sounds/asterisk :

moment-please.gsm
The third will be done early next week, with any luck.
