Yes, this is what I meant. I think, and as Matt confirmed, being able to send and receive audio to and from the server to be stored would be great.

I achieve this at the moment with FastAGI by using a FastAGI proxy, which allows me to add my own commands to the AGI protocol, e.g. GetFile/SendFile which then returns the file in the FastAGI stream. This is a custom development though and not something included in Asterisk.

With regards to playing audio from a remote location, I would love to see the inclusion of a new Sounds Schema for URI playback. It would be great to be able to play audio from a remote source directly, say :
"http://mydom.com/sound.mp3"

Just to double check, you mean getting at the physical file itself,
and not doing the playback (which can be done through POST
/channels/{channelId}/play), right?

If you mean retrieving the physical file, my only real concern would
be security. I'd be interested to hear what people think about that.

Pushing sound recordings by providing a URI to the sound and/or
recording you wanted played was always something we hoped to do. It
hasn't materialized yet - if anyone would be interested in looking
that work, it would be a great feature enhancement to ARI.
