[asterisk-dev] Dialplan pre-bridge handlers

[Nikša Baldun]

Documentation says that StopMixMonitor "Stops the audio recording that 
was started with a call to MixMonitor() on the current channel", and I 
don't see a way to run Joe's channel through dialplan. Perhaps I am not 
understanding something here.

Anyway, this is just one example where pushable pre-bridge handlers 
would be useful. It seems to me that many things would be 
easier/possible if they were introduced. If nobody else finds them 
useful, I guess I am missing something.
