[asterisk-users] SIP connections

[Justin]

I am building a server that accepts audio over SIP and returns 
pre-recorded audio  files based on the result of a recognizer. However, 
I am not sure exactly how to establish and collect data over and SIP 
connection. I literally only need a program (socket?) to establish the 
connection and buffer the audio data to send to a customized recognizer 
server (using the Galaxy Communictor framework). I was wondering if I 
could strip down Asterisk to provide this functionality? Would this be a 
graceful solution, or would it be better to simply write the code from 
scratch (does anyone have a reference for this sort of programming - I 
have no experience coding for low level interactions)?

Thanks a lot.
