[asterisk-dev] Issue #ASTERISK-19435 - Core Dump in app_alarmreciever

[Kaloyan Kovachev]

Hi,
 i have commented about the issue in ASTERISK-19435 itself, but would like
to use this thread (apologies for hijacking it) about app_alarmreciever and
patches related to it.
 I have made some modifications to app_alarmreciever to support some
additional formats and to also use aLAW in addition to uLAW, but since
app_alarmreceiver is an extended support module i am not sure if i should
make a patch to the current app or to create a new app. Because the changes
are quite a lot, probably it will be better to keep the old app unchanged
and to deprecate it later?

as commented in the issue itself i think the correct fix should be to
revert 276652 and replace it with:
if (chan->generatordata && fr->src && strcasecmp(fr->src, "ast_prod")) {

NULL src is not 'ast_prod' src and should not be handled as such
