[asterisk-users] meetme conference & playback of random sound file

[John Kiniston]

Check out the Random Application and the RAND function, Here is a
quick untested example for either.

exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,Background(privacy-please-stay-on-line-to-be-connected)
exten => s,n,Random(33:${CONTEXT},s,FILE1)  ; 33% Num1
exten => s,n,Random(33:${CONTEXT},s,FILE2)  ; 33% Num2
exten => s,n,Random(34:${CONTEXT},s,FILE3)  ; 34% Num3
exten => s,n(FILE1),Background(tt-monkeys)
exten => s,n,Goto(Connect)
exten => s,n(FILE2),Background(tt-weasels)
exten => s,n,Goto(Connect)
exten => s,n(FILE3),Background(gambling-drunk)
exten => s,n,Goto(Connect)
exten => s,n(CONNECT),NoOp
exten => s,n,Meetme(options)


Or using RAND if your prompts are all numbered as prompt0 to prompt100

exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,Background(privacy-please-stay-on-line-to-be-connected)
exten => s,n,Set(promptnum=${RAND(1,100)})
exten => s,n,Background(prompt${promptnum})
exten => s,n,Meetme(options)
