Richard Mudgett 8494e78010 res_pjsip: Split type=identify to IP address and SIP header matching priorities
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.

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 &
