Your design suggestion is pretty thin on details, so is hard to comment on
that.

However, overall it does not sound like a good idea to me to try to bridge
a call without going through the FreeSWITCH core.

I believe your best shot at getting this done and integrated would be to
make it work with the existing bridge() application. This is a rough
description of how to do it:

1. Send the call up from the signaling stack to FreeSWITCH immediately so
the call is sent to the routing engine and you can call the bridge()
application on an outbound FreeTDM channel.

2. The outbound channel sends the first call message (ie SETUP)

3. Relay the following digits as subsequent signaling messages from the
inbound leg to the outbound leg. On the FreeTDM side using
FTDM_SIGEVENT_COLLECTED_DIGIT, then enqueuing a freeswitch message such as
SWITCH_MESSAGE_INDICATE_INFO, on the outgoing leg you would receive the
indication and send the digits to the upstream provider.

Note you described some sort of pass-thru overlap functionality, if we
wanted to implement overlap dialing where FreeSWITCH takes the routing
decision based on digits as received some extra effort is required to have
XML re-evaluated for each digit received.

Cheers,
