This is going down the same road as the /dial operation was.

I just wanted something to encompass both spy and whisper) on channels. This operation would accept a direction for spying and a direction for whispering. Of course "none" would be an option for both in case you don't want to do them. This operation would internally create a Snoop channel which snoops on another channel (oddly enough). Anything written to it is whispered to the other channel (if a direction is specified) and anything read from it is the spied audio (if a direction is specified). The operation would also accept the name of a Stasis application and optionally some arguments. The Snoop channel would be placed into this app. The operation would return a snapshot of this Snoop channel. > > Why this way? > > ULTIMATE POWER! By ultimate power I mean since this is a channel in your Stasis application you can do anything to it that can be done with a channel. Monitoring becomes creating a snoop channel and calling record on it. Whispering or live monitoring becomes creating a snoop channel, creating a bridge, and putting another channel in the bridge. Whispering media becomes creating a snoop channel and calling playback on it. > > Thoughts? > > > -- > Joshua Colp > Digium, Inc. | Senior Software Developer > 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA > Check us out at: www.digium.com & www.asterisk.org > > > _______________________________________________ > asterisk-app-dev mailing list > asterisk-app-dev at lists.digium.com > http://lists.digium.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-app-dev Sounds good to me, would you be able to change direction, or being able to whisper etc etc part way through the channel's lifetime? Still interested to see if you'd then be able to snoop and return an audio stream via http but that's another issue -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
