My initial reaction to this is that it is a reimplementation of text-to-speech. It also removes some existing functionality (saying a date and such). The proposal also ignores say.conf . When talking with Steve at the DevConf I made the mistake of assuming that as say.conf is only referenced in app_playback, it is only used by Playback(), which is not the case. Languages in say.conf: $ grep '^\[' configs/say.conf.sample [general] [digit-base](!) ; base rule for digit strings [date-base](!) ; base rules for dates and times [en-base](!) [en_GB](date-base,digit-base,en-base) [it](digit-base,date-base) [en](en-base,date-base,digit-base) [de](date-base,digit-base) [hu](digit-base,date-base) [fr](date-base,digit-base) [es](date-base,digit-base) [da](date-base,digit-base) Why isn't it more commonly used? (On a personal note: writing the language support is a nice janitorial task for a native speaker of the language with a moderate level of C, as it easy to test and has no inherent concurrency issues) -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
