Re: [asterisk-users] How to record and playback at the same time

I'm going to go ahead and say that while I'm not one of the
developers, I think it's safe to say that you cannot record to a file
and play it back at the same time. Probably something like file
locking (for the record, locks it from access by other processes,
etc)...

 Hi,

 we are using Asterisk to record and playback. Both services are working well
 independently but it seems we can't start playback of a file while we are
 still recording it, even if the file is already in the hard disk.

 Is it possible to playback while recording the same audio file? Or is there
 a way to enable it?

 Regards,
 Jahnavi.

There is nothing in Unix/Linux which prevents the playback of a file
while it is being recorded. File locks in Linux are purely advisory; it
is up to the applications whether they choose to respect them.

The only challenge is whether the header has been written correctly, and
you should be able to do without that in a pinch. What happens if you
copy the half-written file to a computer with speakers and try to play
it through the speakers?

Even (incorrect) headers are not a problem if you know the exact file format.
apt-get/yum/pacman/emerge/whatever install/-S/whatever sox
man (sox|play)
Quick grep through sox source did not yield any fcntl functions, IMHO
sox should ignore any locked files and you should be able to play
them without problems.

Depending on what you are recording there might be two files, one for each leg 
of a call, until the call ends and the files are mixed.
