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

What you'll probably need to do is to get the two processes handling the
two legs talking to each other, so that the one handling the outbound  
leg
sends a message to the one handling the inbound leg, and that message
causes the process handling the inbound leg to start playing the file.

Stick with what you're doing - you're on the right track to end up  
with a
fantastically powerful IVR, and it doesn't sound like you're far from  
that
turning point where everything slots in to place and things just start  
to
work..!
