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.

After looking at this again, I have a question..  Why would you ever use
the 'r' option, and also want to hear early media?

Several people I've talked to say that they use the 'r' option
specifically to mask out early media.  "you want to force ringback when
dialing cell phones, for example, if you want to mask the 'the cellular
customer you have dialed is either out of the area or their phone is off'"

For what purpose are you using 'r'?
