Initially I'd suggest that you could modify cork-music-on-phone to be more generic (I've a funny feeling I've suggested this to someone before too), perhaps renaming it to module-auto-cork or something suitably generic. Then make it configurable which streams to cork and on which triggers. e.g. load-module module-auto-cork trigger_roles=phone,event cork_roles=music,video The defaults being "phone" for trigger_roles and "music,video" for cork_roles. But... > I need to Play a Beep kind of sound when an "event" stream (say sms) > came during active "phone" call stream and cork the actual "event" > (sms tone) stream. > > So there are two requirements now: > 1. Cork the "event" stream during active "phone" stream. > 2. Mixing the "phone" stream with new Beep stream. OK, so now this gets a little more complicated. Ultimately you want to change the event sound to something else... I think this specifically requires a more specialised module. Something that, when it finds an event stream while a phone stream is active, actually plays a different, (much more subtle and unobtrusive) sound (perhaps a sample in the sound sample cache?) instead. I think this in particular is more specialise and thus has to be handled before the module-auto-cork got it's hands on it. For that reason, I'd suggest a module-event-suppress module, that works in the following way: load-module module-role-suppress suppress_roles="event" suppression_sound=/path/to/sound.wav This module would work pretty much like I describe above. On init, it would load the suppression_sound (if present) into the sample cache and then suppress any event sounds and instead play the sample cache. I think this would work pretty well.
