[asterisk-users] macro for recording calls

[Fourhundred Thecat]

Hello,

I have defined macro for recording:

     [macro-record]
     exten => s,1,Set(FILE=${CDR(src)}-${CDR(dst)}.wav)
         same => n,MixMonitor(/tmp/${FILE},b,)
         same => n,MacroExit

and use it in my dialplan as such:

     exten => 1234,1,Macro(record)
	....
	same => n,Hangup()

it works fine, but the problem is it "records" even empty calls.
ie, the wav file is 44 bytes, and contains only header.

I understand that the recording has to start before the call is
answered. So it cannot know in advance whether the cal will actually

Is there a way to modify my macro, so that I don't record empty calls?

empty or not.

But anyway, is there some trick for this ?

thank you,
