On Gentoo we build Asterisk with emerge and use "flags" to enable or disable certain features:

Installed versions:  16.15.1-r1 (alsa bluetooth caps iconv ssl vorbis -calendar -cluster -curl -dahdi -debug -doc -freetds -gtalk -http -ilbc -ldap -libressl -lua -mysql -newt -odbc -oss -pjproject -portaudio -postgres -radius -selinux -snmp -span -speex -srtp -static -statsd -syslog -unbound -xmpp

Which one of the above (the one with "-" in front) are responsible for compiling in Macro feature.

I an replace macro with Gosub but my phone doesn't play the dialing tones after I did it.
My macro execute several sequence of numbers after connecting and I can hear them in the speakerphone now with Gosub, it does execute these numbers but I don't hear anything in the speakerphone just silence.  
Is there a way to activate speakerphone what on Gosub?  So I know the phone is dialing the numbers?
