[asterisk-dev] Unified Asterisk Interface

Hi.

I was wondering whether there are any plans to develop some kind of "unified 
API" to access Asterisk features.

What I mean is: right now when creating an application that's used as 
a "remote control" for Asterisk you have to use two different APIs to 
interact with Asterisk. On the hand you need to use the AGI interface 
to--among other things--handle incoming calls, read DTMF tones, play samples, 
create conferences. On the other hand you have to use the Manager interface 
to be notified about events like a ringing channel or a user stopping to talk 
in a MeetMe conference room. Due to synchronization issues this is not only 
hard to develop but also quite error-prone.

I would really love to handle everything with only a single API that allows me 
complete access to all functions and events that Asterisk has to offer. Are 
there any plans to develop something like that?


Thanks,

	David
