GoSub (or Macro) is being used as one side of an originated call. I'd have to add a new application to make it work. GoSubInternal (for internal use only) or something.
Any preference between just using Macro vs adding a new GoSubInternal app?
I know Macro is considered deprecated but it does work fine here. Besides, Macro has been around *so* long (10+ years?), removing it would just be evil.</pre>

It needs to go away. It sounds like you are originating to an application which is a Macro. Why not just originate to an exten since that seems to be what Macro is doing for you.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">It's originating with dialplan on both ends of the call. Macro is used on one end as a way to run dialplan, but also pass arguments (variables) to that dialplan. Earlier revs of the patch originated to an extension directly, but with that I couldn't pass variables to that dialplan (channel name and hook ID right now).
BTW, somewhat unrelated, I think removing Macro() is a terrible idea. I'd be all for re-implementing it using GoSub internally, but removing a syntax that has been supported for 10+ years, breaking countless examples on the internet, does not seem worth it.</pre>

<pre style="margin-left: 1em; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Actually ... maybe this should work without using GoSub or Macro? I'm passing variables in already via the originate API call, but I was only expecting them to be available to the dialplan running behind the Local channel for some reason. Maybe they're available on both sides of the Local channel? I'll have to test it out.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"> This commit introduces a new dialplan function, PERIODIC_HOOK().
It allows you run to a dialplan hook on a channel periodically. The
original use case that inspired this was the ability to play a beep
periodically into a call being recorded. The implementation is much
more generic though and could be used for many other things.
The implementation makes heavy use of existing Asterisk components.
It uses a combination of Local channels and ChanSpy() to run some
custom dialplan and inject any audio it generates into an active call.
The other important bit of the implementation is how it figures out
when to trigger the beep playback. This implementation uses the
audiohook API, even though it's not actually touching the audio in any
way. It's a convenient way to get a callback and check if it's time
to kick off another beep. It would be nice if this was timer event
based instead of polling based, but unfortunately I don't see a way to
do it that won't interfere with other things.
