[Asterisk-Users] controlling recording

[John Hammen]

Thanks for your quick replies - I had no idea this list was so responsive!

One more issue for you - we are trying to build a custom voicemail
application and so far everything works great by using AGI to play
prompts, get input and record files. However one of our customers has
asked for some pretty advanced functionality, specifically the ability
to:

* stop in the middle of recording (so far so good, escape character)
* fast forward/rewind the recording as it is so far (!)
* overdub (i.e. rerecord) starting from a desired point in the
existing sound file (!!!)

So, it's pretty clear that AGI's "RECORD FILE" function as it stands
is not going to cut it, so I'm assuming that do anything like this
means writing a new custom app_something.c, does that sound right?
Anybody have any tips or comments on how ridiculously difficult this
might be?

Thanks again,

John
