Maybe something in the lines of:


[test]
; need to check the syntax of Monitor...
exten => sound-test,1,Monitor(whatever)
exten => sound-test,2,Wait(300)


Now try:  

  originate Local/sound-test at test extension 123456 at internal-context

(Assuming you want to test dialing 123456 from a phone that is in
context 'internal-context')

You'll now get local recordings of your calls. At least how they got
passed Asterisk. Not the same as a phone, but tests most of the path.
