Hi John

Going through App Konference sources, the following seemed interesting

1) the sounds are packaged in the module--specifically asterikast/audio/join.wav and asterikast/audio/leave.wav (I would like to choose the sound file to play dynamically)
2)the sound controls are mute/unmute, volume up/down (I would like forwarding, pause, etc. that are available with ControlPlayBack)
3)the sound files are selectively played to a channel (unlike multicasting)

Is it the listener.pl  the daemon script you refer to? A cursory glance at it shows that it is possible to call any command supported by the konference/cli.c.

Could you tell me what customizations you have made? I would like, of course, to see your version of the script. Please either post in this thread or send me the script, whichever is easier. My email address is in the header.

Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.

There is one more thing to try:

I would appreciate if anyone can comment on the feasibility of playing an audio file to the caller and callee using ControlPlayBack and appkonference. Much of the reviews indicate that appkonference is an over-kill for an audio as its main functionality is with video. Going past that.

Thanks

I would  like to play audio--using controlplayback-- to 2 channels--agent and caller- simultaneously. Tried meetme,confbridge,originate without success. Tried redirecting the channels to a context, playing audio to the agent's channel and then bridging the 2 channels. The problem with this is as soon as the bridge is created the audio stops. I can provide the dialplan details, if anyone is interested. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks
Murthy
