Well, yes--and no.

Just because sipXivr is running, one should still be able to use external  
voicemail, and one should still be able to use AA but not VM, or MOH but  
not AA or VM.  Running the service shouldn't be the same as using the  
service--in better words:

   Just because sipXivr is running and COULD provide all of MOH, AA and VM,  
it won't unless calls are directed to it for those purposes.

Perhaps it's the "Voicemail" role that is misnamed, and should be "IVR  
Services" roll instead.   Or one could call it "Unified Messaging" Role  
(NOT!!!!!)

Perhaps the features need to be split out from a service/process.  If a  
particular feature (aka role) is selected, the process that performs that  
role is started...but one process can have more than one feature.  This  
was previously the case with sipXvxml (AA and VM), and sipXpark (MOH and  
Park), so nothing new there.  But conceivably, one can have AA running  
today on host "A", VM running on host "B", and MOH running on host "C".   
All three would run sipXivr and FreeSWITCH, but the mappingrules/aliases  
would be the difference between which box took which calls.
