The type=identify endpoint identification method can match by IP address and by SIP header. However, the SIP header matching has limited usefulness because you cannot specify the SIP header matching priority relative to the IP address matching. All the matching happens at the same priority and the order of evaluating the identify sections is indeterminate. e.g., If you had two type=identify sections where one matches by IP address for endpoint alice and the other matches by SIP header for endpoint bob then you couldn't predict which endpoint is matched when a request comes in that matches both. * Extract the SIP header matching criteria into its own "header" endpoint identification method so the user can specify the relative priority of the SIP header and the IP address matching criteria in the global endpoint_identifier_order option. The "ip" endpoint identification method now only matches by IP address. ASTERISK-27491 Change-Id: I9df142a575b7e1e3471b7cda5d3ea156cef08095
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 &
