Summary:                    app_echo causing failures in dialplan?
Description: 

I suspect this is my own brain fart, but I'm not able to get past any
priorities that call app_echo.  Is this a problem with "Echo"?

I think pabelanger is right here... I think you're using the wrong
application for what you want:


app_echo is not like the bash command "echo" -- it's meant to answer the
channel and "echo" back the audio that it receives back to the caller in
order to determine if they have bi-directional audio / low latency.

app_verbose is for writing logging information to the console.
