Without looking at code, I don't know for certain.

If you modify the creation time and then 'mv' it into the outgoing dir,
asterisk will see it and ignore it till the creation time is older than
current time.

You will find a lot of suggestions to not create files in the outgoing
directory due to race conditions on your creation time and when you are done
writing the file.
