Description:	This is an old patch I've revised and made to compile against svn trunk.  It simply adds the ${PARKEDAT} variable to the announce channel.  This makes parkandannounce insanely useful because you can now make use of the parking slot number in the dialplan by announcing to a Local channel. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** Example: exten => 700,6,ParkAndAnnounce(PARKED,,Local/${EXTEN}@dosomethingcool) [dosomethingcool] exten => _X.,1,NoOp(dosomethingcool: PARKEDAT is ${PARKEDAT}) exten => _X.,2,DeadAGI(FunkyFunc.agi)

By: Andrew Kohlsmith (akohlsmith) 2006-01-13 05:47:38.000-0600 I'm not familiar with the snom phones at all (nor any SIP phone for that matter) but I suppose it is possible to announce the parked call to a Local/ channel and have that channel's context either send a message to the phone to "soft program" the soft button.  It could also be used to announce the parked channel over SMS, IM or really anything.  Hell you could have Cepestral do something really awkward with it.  :-) By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2006-01-22 00:18:30.000-0600 Committed to trunk.
