[Asterisk-Users] How to start a playback after the called partypicks up?

[Michael Collins]

Ronald,

I've been experimenting with something similar. You might want to check
this out:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out+deliver+message

What kind of trunks do you have for your outbound calls?
(BRI/PRI/analog POTS/SIP/IAX etc.)  I'm using PRI and it works very well
- the dialplan doesn't execute the message playback until after the call
has been answered.  I don't know of any analog lines that can do that.
(However, there is app_amd.c that tries to detect an answering machine
vs. human answer which might suffice for dialing on analog lines.)

BTW, the wiki has some nice dialplan examples that I pasted right into
my extensions.conf file and I was working in no time.  

Please let us know if this helps.

1. I want to call somebody and, as soon (and not before) a playback 
should be played. How can I do that?
2. How can I accept dtmf tones with such calls?

Example:
System calls all staff and ask them a question. The staff will answer 
with a digit!
The playback should start when the staff picks up.
