Name
Playback() — Plays the specified audio file to the caller
Synopsis
Playback(filename
[,options
])
Plays back a given filename to the caller. The filename should
not contain the file extension, as Asterisk will automatically choose
the audio file with the lowest conversion cost. Zero or more
options
may also be included. The skip
option causes the playback of the
message to be skipped if the channel is not in the “up” state (i.e.,
it hasn’t yet been answered). If skip
is specified, the application will
return immediately should the channel not be off-hook. Otherwise,
unless noanswer
is specified, the
channel will be answered before the sound file is played. (Not all
channels support playing messages while still on-hook.) Returns
-1
if the channel was hung up. If
the file does not exist, jumps to priority n
+101 (where n
is the current priority), if it
exists.
