[asterisk-dev] Playing a Message into the ConfBridge App

[Timothy Rodriguez]

I've done some googling and it looks like chan_bridge will allow me to
bridge in an arbitrary extension, such as an agi script or playback
app, if I understand correctly?  I think this would work, but I can
find any documentation on how to use it. Could you point me in the
right drection?
