[asterisk-users] cli_originate malfunction after upgrade from 1.6.2.0 to 1.6.2.1-5

[Andreas Brodmann]

Hi all,

We encountered a strange phenomenon when trying to upgrade from 1.6.2.0 to
any newer releases:

We use the following cli command to feed a wave/mp3 file into an existing
conference on an other serve:
/opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk -r -x "channel originate
Local/ConfGongAdmin at XY_Features extension ConfGongPlay at XY_Features"

The corresponding extensions.conf part looks like that:
----------------------
[XY_Features]
exten => ConfGongAdmin,1,NoCDR()
exten => ConfGongAdmin,n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=10)
exten => ConfGongAdmin,n,Dial(SIP/12345 at server)

exten => ConfGongPlay,1,Answer()
exten => ConfGongPlay,n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=10)
exten => ConfGongPlay,n,Wait(2)
exten => ConfGongPlay,n,Playback(/etc/asterisk/sounds/gong)
-----------------------

Until asterisk-1.6.2.0 this worked fine.

With later releases including 1.6.2.5 asterisk does a call to
ConfGongAdmin at XY_Features but once that stands does not
continue with a call to ConfGongPlay.

Our asterisk system is a pure asterisk installation, no dahdi drivers for
timing, as we don't have zaptel/dahi hardware.

What we basically do is we try to play a sound file into an existing
conference on another server.

We have also tried to do the same thing with the ConfBridge application but
have found so far that ConfBridge only works with
phones, e.g. stations that provide RTP which asterisk can use for timing.
When we try to play a sound file into such a conference
from the same server asterisk won't play anything.

Maybe I am just doing it wrong. Any suggestions or help would be
appreciated.

Andreas
