Summary:                    Option r with early files
Description: 
I was asked to develop a feature thar switches between the ringing tone and
early media. So when you dial asterisk starts generating ringing tone, but
when the called channels starts sendig RTP (like mobile carriers: “The
person you are trying to reach is unavailable") with or without answering
the channel, the asterisk would have to end generating the ringing tone and
send the media it receives.

The patch does this.

So, after reviewing this, I'm not sure I entirely understand why this is
actually needed.  Let me explain...

If I'm reading this right, with this dialplan variable set, you will play
the ringing to the user until you start getting early media, at which point
the ringing stops, and the user hears the audio.

I don't see why you would ever want any different behavior - for either
ringing or MOH.  I would propose simply removing the ast_test entirely. 
Does that make sense?
