[asterisk-users] Playback with noanswer in AGI

[Sammy Govind]

Hey Danny,

I've this thing exactly running and working as Zohair mentioned! i.e I do
not answer() the call rather put a progress() and soon after that playing
back the sound file from playback with noanswer and then I get the file
streaming as 183-Session progress file.

I do understand that playing any sound file before establishing any audio
session between two end point will result in no-adio from playback() BUT
the combination of progress() and playback(,noanswer) works fine for me.

What I think the issue could be for Zohair is that its requesting/incoming
session(carrier) isn't allowing the 183-Session progress.

Zohair can you do a SIP trace for this particular call along with the
dialplan executing for it!?

Regards,
Sammy.
