[asterisk-users] MeetMe Hints

[Danny Nicholas]

The routine ast_extension_states in main/pbx.c is set up (in 1.4.26.1) to
return these values:

       switch (devstate) {
        case AST_DEVICE_ONHOLD:
                return AST_EXTENSION_ONHOLD;
        case AST_DEVICE_BUSY:
                return AST_EXTENSION_BUSY;
        case AST_DEVICE_UNAVAILABLE:
        case AST_DEVICE_UNKNOWN:
        case AST_DEVICE_INVALID:
                return AST_EXTENSION_UNAVAILABLE;
        case AST_DEVICE_RINGINUSE:
                return (AST_EXTENSION_INUSE | AST_EXTENSION_RINGING);
        case AST_DEVICE_RINGING:
                return AST_EXTENSION_RINGING;
        case AST_DEVICE_INUSE:
                return AST_EXTENSION_INUSE;
        case AST_DEVICE_NOT_INUSE:
                return AST_EXTENSION_NOT_INUSE;
        case AST_DEVICE_TOTAL: /* not a device state, included for
completeness */
                break;

These come back "in English" as 
static const struct cfextension_states {
        int extension_state;
        const char * const text;
} extension_states[] = {
        { AST_EXTENSION_NOT_INUSE,                     "Idle" },
        { AST_EXTENSION_INUSE,                         "InUse" },
        { AST_EXTENSION_BUSY,                          "Busy" },
        { AST_EXTENSION_UNAVAILABLE,                   "Unavailable" },
        { AST_EXTENSION_RINGING,                       "Ringing" },
        { AST_EXTENSION_INUSE | AST_EXTENSION_RINGING, "InUse&Ringing" },
        { AST_EXTENSION_ONHOLD,                        "Hold" },
        { AST_EXTENSION_INUSE | AST_EXTENSION_ONHOLD,  "InUse&Hold" }

So a line Is Unavailable on 3 conditions, but only Idle on one; unless you
tweak to make UNAVAILABLE equivalent to NOT_INUSE.  I don't know the
ramifications if any of the tweak.

I've got hints setup for my MeetMe conferences like so:

    exten => _60X,hint,MeetMe:${EXTEN}

and they show up in "core show hints" like so

    600 at dialtone            : MeetMe:600            State:Unavailable
   Watchers  1
    _60X at dialtone            : MeetMe:${EXTEN}       State:Unavailable
    Watchers  0

I'm wondering why they're Unavailable instead of Idle.  They go to
"State:InUse" when active but usually return to Unavailable when the
conference ends.  Occasionally they end up in InUse but not
consistently.

Anybody know why?
