I thought it might be useful to be able to ask Asterisk for the
current SIP CSeq through the Manager API in order to send your
own SIP messages during a call outside of Asterisk (for AOC,
whatever). Each time you ask for the CSeq Asterisk should increment
the value so it does not get out of sync.
Anyone sharing my opinion? We might open a feature request.
