             Summary: Bridge API Enhancements - Create a media channel for the bridging API
                 Key: ASTERISK-21713
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-21713
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: None
          Components: Channels/chan_local, Core/Bridging
    Affects Versions: 12
            Reporter: Matt Jordan


Currently, media operations on a bridge are performed (in ConfBridge) using specially constructed channels that are only applicable to that module. This has the following drawbacks:
# They aren't as flexible as a Local channel
# Their existence 'leaks' to the outside world, breaking the bridging/channel model that we'd like to have for 12

Ideally, we would have something that was as flexible as a Local channel, but that would 'look' different, such that consumers of Stasis-Core can choose to either reflect those channels or drop them in an easy fashion. This task is to:
# Have common API entry points to the bridging framework that initiate media operations
# Use a new channel driver (media channels) to perform those media operations on the bridge
# Refactor common code between chan_local and chan_media (or whatever we call it) to the a new framework in Asterisk. This framework would be suitable for use by virtual channel drivers.
