[asterisk-users] [asterisk-dev] How to play audio file in background in dialplan?

[Danny Nicholas]

Assuming your longtime task is in an AGI, you could do this:
<AGI>
Print STDOUT "SET MUSIC ON HOLD DEFAULT\n"
.. agi logic ..
.. end of agi logic ..
Print STDOUT "SET MUSIC ON HOLD OFF\n"

Subject: [asterisk-users] [asterisk-dev] How to play audio file in
background in dialplan?

Hi

I have a task. While serving incoming call I should do some longtime
task(consumes more than few tens of seconds). So I decided to turn on
background music in order to entertain caller. `core show applications`
showed me 3 potential candidates: Background, Playback and StartMusicOnHold.
Unfortunately, all of them does not meet my
requirements:
1. Background and Playback block execution of dialplan.
2. StartMusicOnHold I cannot say which file it should play. Only class,
which is inpossible for me because of file to play is of dynamically
generated content with runtime obtained name, and I cannot predict and
configure all possible pairs of file-name/class-name.(And don't want to use
realtime to link class-name and file-name on fly).
Any ideas?



regards, Yaroslav
