Hi,

As mentioned before, how about being able to search and replay recordings 
from the switchboard.  With call records now searchable hopefully it 
wouldn't take too much more work to enable.  For example, being able to 
search on extension by date and time or by cli would be very handy.

Best regards,
Steve.
