Summary:                    When originating a call from a meetme room, the
ringback is not heard in the meetme room
Description: 
meetme.conf
-------------

[rooms]
conf => 600


extensions.conf
-----------------


[default]
exten => 100,1,Answer
exten => 100,n,MeetMe(600,1q)
exten => 100,n,Hangup

exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/phone1)
exten => 101,n,Hangup

exten => 102,1,Dial(ZAP/1)
exten => 102,n,Hangup

I have a TDM400P with 4 FXOs and also some SIP users (phone1, phone2) all
bounded to the "default" context.

If I dial 100 using any of the phones I enter the meetme room. While in
the meetme room I give Asterisk the following command using the Asterisk
manager:

Action: Originate
Channel: Local/100 at default
Context: default
Exten: 101 (or 102)
Priority: 1


At this moment the other party's phone starts ringing, but the users in
the meetme room can not hear the ringback. If the call is answered, only
then the first user from the meetme room can hear the called party.

I have tried all sorts of combinations using "r" parameter in Dial, or
using Answer and Ringing applications, but I couldn't hear the ringback in
the meetme room while initiating a call as described above.

Well, as I understand, Ringing() is just __indicates__ ringing. That is
sets sends some special frame which says "this call is in ringing state" or
something. It is what called "signaling". It does NOT produce ringing sound
- it is the business of caller's SIP phone client to start making this
sound when it knows call is in inging state (by receipt of ringing
signaling).
Since in your case the "caller" is MeetMe conference room, not the phone,
it does not do that.
In constrast, PlayTones relly make the sound so it is sent to the "caller"
and MeetMe "hears" it.
