Note

For more information, including dialplan configuration set for using AUDIOHOOK_INHERIT with MixMonitor, see the function documentation for AUDIOHOOK_INHERIT.

    Command Argument

    Icon

    The command argument is used for shell commands, not Asterisk commands.  However, you don't not use System() command inside of MixMonitor; you simply place the shell command as the command argument.

    Asterisk pays attention to the extension of the file and saves the audio in the appropriate container with the appropriate encoding. IE wav = Microsoft WAV format (8000hz Signed Linear), WAV = Microsoft WAV format (Proprietary GSM), ulaw = Flat, binary, ulaw PCM file format.

    These are defined by the format modules.
