| Description: | Many voicemail systems are able to rewind a few seconds rather than to the beginning of the message. In order for Asterisk's voicemail to be considered a suitable replacement for those voicemail systems it must be able to do the same. Ideally it should be managed with a default value for number of seconds to rewind but perhaps should also offer a user/administrator override for the amount of time to move the playhead back. | ||

Is it possible that it's implemented and undocumented? http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2003-April/000264.html Mike Reiling asterisk-dev@lists.digium.com Tue, 8 Apr 2003 16:56:11 -0700 Previous message: [Asterisk-Dev] SIP: tag fix Next message: [Asterisk-Dev] Attempted to delete non-existant schedule entry Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW, this doesn't go back/forward by 5 seconds, but you can change that. Look at file.c. I added the ast_waitstream_fr function. You can change the time in that function. I will soon be adding that to voicemail.conf, so you can change it easier. --Mike On Tuesday, April 8, 2003, at 04:20 PM, Jim Gottlieb wrote: > Hi.
