New features will not be added to the stable series, so please recreate your patch against CVS HEAD.

Also, it may not be safe to call the ast_channel_setoption function on channels that don't support that option; look at app_queue to see how it decides whether to call it or not based on the channel type.

We should probably not have to have special checks...

Actually, it is not necessary to special case ast_channel_setoption; if the channel doesn't implement it, then it will be ignored. If the channel provides the function, but doesn't recognize the option requested, it should be ignored (unless the code in a particular channel is buggy).

So, there is no need to worry about the channel type, but your patch will need to be re-created against CVS HEAD if you wish it to be incorporated.

There is something wrong with this feature: When doing it on a PRI to PRI connection, I get these warnings:

May 13 11:20:33 WARNING[9354]: chan_zap.c:1254 zt_disable_ec: Unable to disable echo cancellation on channel 63
May 13 11:20:33 WARNING[9354]: chan_zap.c:1047 conf_add: Failed to add 81 to conference 9/217
May 13 11:20:33 WARNING[9354]: chan_zap.c:1047 conf_add: Failed to add 81 to conference 9/217

and the connection is dead after that.

Let me explain it better:

This option works for SIP -> PRI connections.
This option fails for PRI -> PRI connections.

Has anyone been able to create this patch for HEAD yet?
By: Olle Johansson (oej) 2005-06-05 17:05:58

Still no working patch?
Should we give up and close the issue until we have a patch, then re-open. It's been sleeping for a while.

Instead of:
+ } else {
+ tmp->disableechocan = 0;
+ }

why not initizaling
disableechocan = 0; in the struct?

Can anyone re-write this patch for HEAD.  I could really use it
By: Michael Jerris (mikej) 2005-06-24 10:36:22

As no one has been able to produce a proper patch for head, and no response in over a month, I am suspending this bug.  If you are able to create a patch for head, feel free to re-open this bug to proceed.  Thanks.
