[asterisk-users] play audio file within an active call

[Matthew Edmondson]

If you redirect the channel, the person they're talking to is likely
to be dropped.

The only way I know of doing this is with a conference bridge like
meetme. You would have to have both parties in the conference and then
call the 3rd party (your msg) into it.

The idea is to simply warn users that they've been on the phone for quite a while and maybe they should consider hanging up. If the call stays up for more than Y minutes, it is dropped automatically (softhangup).
