[asterisk-users] Asterisk Manager to Record Greetings

[Peder @ NetworkOblivion]

That's great, now say you have 5 or 6 AA's and each one has 10 different 
parts that you want to record ("thank you for calling..."  "for Steve 
press 1" "for dave press 2").  Rather than having to record a long 
message, I want to break it into pieces so that if "dave" leaves, we can 
just record that one chunk rather than the whole thing.  I would need 
lots of extensions pre-setup for each chunk.  Not very efficient.
