[Freeswitch-users] Socket inbound or outbound with PHP?

So you need to create a second call leg that is somewhat independent of the
first leg, so that you can play a file, and *then* bridge the new leg to the
"current" leg?

I just want to make sure that I grok what you are trying to accomplish.
Also, if you haven't put your dialplan and script in pastebin then it would
be good to do so for the sake of everyone being on the same page. (
