[Asterisk-Users] Queue Announcement not until after # accept callpressed

[Edward Eastman]

This is something I'm after as well, what I have found is the following:
http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0001082

http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2004-February/003201.html

which pretty much does what I(you) want, the one problem with it is that
while the agent is listening to the pre # announcement, MOH for the queued
party stops.  Other than this I can confirm the patch works well with CVS
Head 08/03/04.

Does anyone else have anything better, or any status on the above patch?

Thanks

Ed

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Queue Announcement not until after # accept
callpressed


When using the callback feature on agents I notice that when the queue calls
one of the agents and the agent picks up the call they hear nothing until
pressing the # to accept the call.

Only then does my announcement play back to the agent after which the call
is immediately connected.

Is there a way to have the announcement played to the agent before they
press # to accept. I have ackcall=yes in agent.conf

Can't find anything on the wiki.

Thanks

Andrew
