Understood, thanks.<br>

I have two esl applications I connect calls between. In my testing
with loopback, it gave me much better audio quality then if I
bridged the call to another instance of freeswitch, as my freeswitch
instances run on virtual machines (see my previous thread "Dialplan
bridge results in choppy audio"). Of course, the difference is that
I ran my two esl applications on the same freeswitch instance
instead of different ones. It would not mind running them on the
same one if I needed to, but I wanted to make sure that loopback was
ok to use.<br>

give you that you can't get elsewhere?
For example, in the default dialplan we use loopback for voicemail so
that people can do an attended transfer to send a call into the
target's voicemail.
My recommendation is this: if you are tempted to use loopback but
aren't sure if it's the only way to accomplish what you want, then ask
here or on IRC. In many cases you can use loopback w/o any drama.
However, some people abuse loopback by doing crazy things that Tony
never dreamed of when he created mod_loopback. That's the primary
reason that loopback is "evil."
So... ask away!

I think its best to look at loopback as something of a hack,
in most
situations there is almost always another way to do what
loopback
does. As long as loopback behaves in your situation how it
should
you should be fine, but if when you go to use it you find
oddities or
issues generally taking loopback out of the equation will
solve the
problems.
