[Freeswitch-dev] MOH in async mode is possible?

[Vu Quang Hoa]

Thanks Anthony,

I sent this message before chat with you on irc. Of cause I tried to search
& search many time before asking you (I love Google) and I had already tried
ESL but it still blocks any LUA session call (like session:foo()).

Now I'm trying to implement MOH with async mode like record_session concept
(using mod_soundtouch sample code).

Hope that it will be ready within few days.
