Summary:                    Ealry media is lost on accepted calls (with open r2
support, Elastix 2 flavor)
Description: 
This seems to be a bug in R2 chan_dahdi support.

The problem is that the audio that you hear during the voicemail prompt
("Por favor deje su mensaje ... blah blah"), is sent as "early media". In
MFC-R2 there is really no signal to notify whether inband information is
available, the call is just accepted. I am unsure if typically all telcos
provide alerting information, the R2 support in Asterisk has been working
without major complains for a while, so I don't want to break backwards
compatibility by adding inband media to all calls.

To fix this I think a new configuration is needed, something like
mfcr2_media_on_accept=yes or something along those lines. This would mean
when the call is accepted (but not answered) media will be passed through
instead of waiting for the answer signal. That should fix the problem with
voicemail in the telco.

We'll have to wait until the weekend to test; the call center works from 6
to 22 monday to saturday and they have already told me to wait until then.
I'll must clone the current system to have a backup (just in case) but I
was wondering if there is an alternative to recompile the whole thing?
Something like copying only the files that changed? This is an Elastix
server with the call center module and these flavored systems doesn't
always like people messing around with code. Source code is not even there.
On top of that it has QueueMetrics which shouldn't be an issue but given
the history with this customer I wouldn't want to take a step back, so if I
can only copy a couple of files (or whatever) I could test it and have a
feedback for you much sooner
