[asterisk-users] AMI status events with res_fax_spandsp.so

[Steven Wheeler]

Is anyone else using the AMI with res_fax_spandsp.so for real-time status?

I am working on migrating a FAX application from res_fax_digium.so to res_fax_spandsp.so. I have noticed that the spandsp module generates far fewer AMI status events than the Digium module and the generated events contain less information. For example when sending a fax there is no longer an event for every page. There are just a few FaxStatus events at the beginning and a couple at the end but they don’t contain many details. I can pull the required information from the Asterisk console by running  fax show session <ID> but that output isn’t suitable for parsing.

There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of information about res_fax_spandsp.so via Google.
