George Joseph 06966e91fe res_pjsip_session: Add ability to accept multiple sdp answers
pjproject by default currently will follow media forked during an INVITE
on outbound calls if the To tag is different on a subsequent response as
that on an earlier response.  We handle this correctly.  There have
been reported cases where the To tag is the same but we still need to
follow the media.  The pjproject patch in this commit adds the
capability to sip_inv and also adds the capability to control it at
runtime.  The original "different tag" behavior was always controllable
at runtime but we never did anything with it and left it to default to
TRUE.

So, along with the pjproject patch, this commit adds options to both the
system and endpoint objects to control the two behaviors, and a small
logic change to session_inv_on_media_update in res_pjsip_session to
control the behavior at the endpoint level.

The default behavior for "different tags" remains the same at TRUE and
the default for "same tag" is FALSE.

app_festival is an application that allows one to send text-to-speech commands
to a background festival server, and to obtain the resulting waveform which
gets sent down to the respective channel. app_festival also employs a waveform
cache, so invariant text-to-speech strings ("Please press 1 for instructions")
do not need to be dynamically generated all the time.

You need :

1) festival, patched to produce 8khz waveforms on output. Patch for Festival
1.4.2 RELEASE are included. The patch adds a new command to festival
(asterisk_tts).

It is possible to run Festival without patches in the source-code. Just
add this to your /etc/festival.scm or /usr/share/festival/festival/scm:

    (define (tts_textasterisk string mode)
    "(tts_textasterisk STRING MODE)
    Apply tts to STRING. This function is specifically designed for
    use in server mode so a single function call may synthesize the string.
    This function name may be added to the server safe functions."
    (let ((wholeutt (utt.synth (eval (list 'Utterance 'Text string)))))
    (utt.wave.resample wholeutt 8000)
    (utt.wave.rescale wholeutt 5)
    (utt.send.wave.client wholeutt)))

[See the comment with subject "Using Debian
 festival >= 1.4.3-15 (no recompiling needed!)" on
 http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+festival+installation for the
 original mentioning of it]

2) You may wish to obtain and install the asterisk-perl
module by James Golovich <james@gnuinter.net>, from
either CPAN, or his site: http://asterisk.gnuinter.net,
as this contains a good example of how variable text
can be tts'd via asterisk, namely the examples/tts-*.agi
files there. It has been noted that the current expression
evaluation capabilities of asterisk are not best suited
for the generation and manipulation of text. AGI scripting
can be ideal for these sorts of needs. For simpler usage,
fixed, pre-recorded messages may be more amenable for your
purposes.

3) Before running asterisk, you have to run festival-server with a command
like :

/usr/local/festival/bin/festival --server > /dev/null 2>&1 &
