Also, the other question is this: do you *need* early media? If not then
Darren's suggestion is definitely the way to go. Note that if you ignore
early media then all calls that fail will show up as a NO ANSWER. If this
doesn't work for you then ignoring early media is not an option, in which
case there simply is no perfect way to do it and you just have to make the
best of it. What I've done in the past is something like this:

originate openzap/1/a/5551212 825551212

Then I define an extension that matches on ^82(\d+)$ and does something like
this
action application=pre_answer/
action application=set data=execute_on_answer=transfer IVR_ANSWER/
action application=sleep data=2/
...handle non-answered calls

Then I define another extension that matches on ^IVR_ANSWER$ and does
something like this
action application=sleep data=500/
action application=ivr data=my_ivr/
...etc...

The idea for me is to handle the different scenarios I might face when
dialing. At the very least if the call goes unanswered then I have the
hangup_cause variable that tells me if it was busy, no answer, invalid, etc.

Hope that helps.

 Since you are making a dialer, you may want to start the originations in
 the
 background and move on to the next call while tweaking the timeout value
 for
 originated calls. From the WIKI again:

 You can originate a call in the background (asynchronously) and playback a
 message with a 60 second timeout.

   bgapi originate
 {ignore_early_media=true,originate_timeout=60}sofia/gateway/name/number
 playback(message)

 Hi,

 I'm working on a simple dialer, and I have the following problem: the audio
 file starts playing before the user answeres the phone (while it's
 ringing).
 It only works when I introduce a delay, but that doesn't seem right.

 For instance in the asterisk context referred in the call files, I had:

 exten = s,4,Answer
 exten = s,n,Wait(2)
 exten = s,n,Background(${SOUNDFILE})
 And indeed it played a soundfile 2 seconds after the called person picked
 up
 the phone

 In FS I currently initiate calls like this:

 session.waitForAnswer(1);

 if (session.ready()) {
session.sleep(2000);
session.streamFile(/*...*/);
 }

 Is this right?
