dahdi and digium debian package

Hi

I’m trying to install dahdi. I just need the dahdi timer for
conference.
I currently using digium debian package for asterisk 1.8.8.1.
When i install asterisk-dahdi , i’ve got several dependencies which
came for official debian repository (including the dahdi package) and
are outdated.
Is it normal than dahdi is not include into digium packages ? Do i have
to compil it before install asterisk-dahdi ?

Thanks for your help.

blocking script until playback complete

Greetings list,

I’ve done AGI scripting before, but in the past I’ve always wanted
control to be returned to the dialplan as soon as possible.

However, today I have a scenario where I want the script to remain
running during the playback of a file so that I can read DTMF at the end
of playback. However, doing this:

GET DATA en_welcome 5000 6

Results (correctly) in the following in the asterisk console:

How does format_mp3 work?

Hi

I was using the Playback application to play an MP3 file after compiling
and installing asterisk 1.8.7.0 with format_mp3 and it seems to me that
asterisk is transcoding the file to an slin on the fly rather than
playing the mp3 itself. Is this what it does?

Also, does this mean I might as well change the format of MP3s to WAV
seeing as I’m used to doing that anyway?

Thanks

Postgresql in Asterisk

Hello,

I install asterisk an postgresql 9.1 in gentoo, I already did the
configuration in both asterisk and postgresql, in fact If I make a call
and asterisk log it to CDR table, my question is:

how can I make a function like the ones in func_odbc.conf for
postgresql, if I am using res_pgsql.conf instead of res_odbc.conf?

I also configure odbc and it connects with echo “select 1″ | isql -v
asterisk-connector with out problems, but when I try an odbc function
or restart asterisk it logs:

Error SQLConnect=-1 errno=101 [unixODBC]Could not connect to the server;
Could not connect to remote socket.

and the command

CLI> odbc show

ODBC DSN Settings

Asterisk 1.8.x app_meetme.so

Hello,

I can’t seem to use MeetMe app in asterisk versions beyond 1.8. Its source
file app_meetme.c is present in the apps dir. Also, I can find app_meetme
change-logs on the asterisk website. However, the dialplan doesn’t have
this cmd. I have checked menuselect but it says it has been replaced by
app_confbridge.

Also, If that *is* the case, does ConfBridge (the newer version of meetme)
offer the same options? How do I use them?
