Summary:                    2 features, ring expiry and periodic announce
firstplay
Description: 
Posted both these together because they work hand in hand (but will also
work separately).

1st feature; ringexpiry

; When the 'r' option is passed to the Queue() you can expire the ringing
; then start music on hold.  If you use this with
periodic-announce-frequency
; and set it to the same value, when the ring expires it will play the 
; periodic announce then start the music on hold.
;
; ringexpiry = 10

2nd feature; periodic-announce-firstplay

; When to play the first periodic announcement.  This allows you to 
; play the first announcement at the beginning of the call then revert
; back to a much higher frequency (0=off)
;
;periodic-announce-firstplay=10

Yeah, that does makes sense.  

It does remove quite a bit of the flexibility though but you have a lot
more experience with the mindset of the general asterisk user.  I know its
very limited of me but I can only see the two separate options with their
flexibility to cover all possible requirements.

I'm happy with what you've suggested, but would another option be needed
if you want the periodic-announcement to play when the "ringfirst"
expires?

The periodic-announcement-firstplay might also be good for people who
don't even use the ring but jump straight into the hold music.  If the
normal announcement is 60 seconds they may still want to play the
announcement on entering or 10s into the hold music?  Just a thought.
