<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;">When issuing a POST /channels/{channel_id}/play on a channel that is not yet answered, ARI is supposed to:
* Queue up an AST_CONTROL_PROGRESS on the channel
* Start up the playback of the media
Instead, we sneak an answer on the channel right before starting playing media.
This is due to ARI's usage of control_streamfile. This function implicitly answers the channel (and doesn't give ARI the option to stop it). The answering of the channel here is probably unnecessary:
* app_voicemail, by far the biggest consumer of this function, always answers the channels anyway
* control stream file (in res_agi) and ControlPlayback probably shouldn't be implicitly answering the channel.
As it turns out, the answering of the channel here is pretty old:
356042 twilson if (ast_channel_state(chan) != AST_STATE_UP) {
3087 anthm res = ast_answer(chan);
180259 tilghman }
(As in, ancient?)
This patch goes with simply removing the ast_answer. If we're okay with this, I'll note in the UPGRADE.txt notes that ControlPlayback and control stream file no longer implicitly answer the channel.</pre>
