Is there any particular reason (rather than not having time to code one and embed it into *) why we can't have our own in-thread connection to an MP3 stream or file, rather than spawning off a process (fork() is expensive as compared to pthread_create()) of mpg123 to play the stream/file? It seems that this spawning/hoping the process dies cleanly is a thorn in a few people's side. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
