is related toASTERISK-22201 Despite not bridging early media in a parallel Dial, we forward 183 Session Progress back to the caller
Environment:Attachments:( 0) debug-output.txt
Description:If I have 2 or more destinations configured as part of the dial string, I hear no ringback tone from the media in 183 Session Progress.

If I take the same two parameters and dial them individually then I hear the ring tones passed back.

I have tried with all combinations of prematuremedia=yes/no and progressinband=yes/no/never on the provider trunks, in addition to having the Ringing() application preceed the dial (when I preceed the Ringing() app, then I get 1 ring before the 183 Session Progress stops the ringing - early media I presume)

It appears that there may be an issue with bridging 2 or more destinations.

This issue appears to be identical to issue 0010032 which was suspended due to lack of feedback.

****** STEPS TO REPRODUCE ******

In this instance I am dialing 2 mobile numbers out via one of our providers, for example:

Dial(SIP/gateway/mobile1&SIP/gateway/mobile2)



****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I have attached the console output of debug=9 with a call out to two mobile numbers.

That behaviour sounds reasonable.  Maybe it should be overriding the Progress call and sending 180 Ringing again.  The problem, as I see it, is that giving ringback after 183 for multiple destinations could require it to mix ringbacks from all sources, which might well sound horrible!

Is this the desired behaviour then? I guess it does make sense that mixing the 2 early media streams together for ringback would sound horrid :/

If so, the only way to force a ring on these types of dial strings (2 or more destinations) is with the "r" parameter to the Dial application?

I think this is the type of situation where the 'r' flag to Dial() is appropriate.
