Maybe just record the entire call and then split it up afterwards using a wav-file post-processing program. Maybe sox or ffmpeg or something similar might work? Alternatively, you could use the API in FreeSWITCH to start and stop and start and stop the recording every 30 seconds, but that seems like overkill and lots of extra work compared to just using post-processing software. Plus, you'll miss bits of the recording between when you stop one segment and start the next. Is there some reason you need to be doing this on the fly versus post-processing? Alternatively, you could write a module in C for FreeSWITCH which taps the audio and you could buffer it internally in your module and then save out 30-second segments. This would let you get all of the audio with micro-second precision splits so you wouldn't loose any audio between segments, but it's an awful lot of work to go through compared to post-processing.<br>

(This is the -dev list which has a smaller audience and is reserved for more intense discussions.) If you don't get a satisfactory answer here then re-post on freeswitch-users list.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now, as far as your question goes... you have different options available to you but it really depends on how you are generating your calls. Also, do you want the call to last more than 30 seconds and have only the recording be 30 seconds? Do you want recording to start on early media or on answer? </div>
<div><br></div><div>As an example of how to do a simple 30-second recording here's one that when you call it, it will start recording, play music for 30 sec, then end the recording and disconnect:</div><div><br></div>
<div><font face="'courier new', monospace" size="1"><extension name="record 30 sec of MOH"></font></div><div><font face="'courier new', monospace" size="1"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^732664$"></font></div>
