Summary:                    Asterisk messes up progress indication on q.931
ALERTING message
Description: 
I am using asterisk with libpri 1.4.11, dahdi 2.3.0.1 and two ISDN PRI E1
interfaces. Asterisk seems to have trouble with some outgoing calls
signalization. Scenario:

1) inbound call to asterisk from user (SETUP and CALL PROCEEDING with
user)
2) outbound call is dialed (SETUP and CALL PROCEEDING to PBX)
3) ALERTING message comes on the outbound channel, with no progress
indication
4) ALERTING is sent to inbound channel, WITH progress indication 8 (Inband
information or appropriate pattern now available)
5) but no sound is generated on the inbound channel
6) user hears nothing, few seconds later, he is connected

This scenario is catched up in the attached log. I recorded channels using
dahdi_monitor to confirm the sound is not generated. Asterisk should either
send ALERTING with no progress or generate the sound.

Unfortunately PBX does usually follow the ALERTING message with PROGRESS
and inband audio, which works ok, so I can't reproduce it easily. I am not
sure if this is chan_dahdi or libpri issue.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I think your call progress tones are either coming from your PBX or your
PBX is occasionally not passing them through.  As I said earlier,
chan_dahdi will always generate the ringback tone when it sends the
ALERTING message and thus the sent ALERTING will always have the progress
indicator for non-data calls.

As a test, you could change the DAHDI system.conf loadzone and defaultzone
to uk instead of us and restart DAHDI.  You will hear a different ringback
tone if the source of the tones is Asterisk.
