Hi, I have a stupid case with proxy media. (I need it so T.38 works, bypass is not an option). I set proxy_media to true, do a simple bridge to a sip destination and then, once it fails, I need to play a prompt that it failed. The bridge fails with SIP cause 404 after a second worth of G.729 early media (can't ignore the early media) Tried: a) pre_answer + playback b) answer + playback c) redirect to a sip destination with a proper prompt d) deflect to a sip destination with a proper prompt e) bridge to a sip destination with a proper prompt while forcing PCMA codec A & B fail with Codec PROXY PASS-THROUGH encoder error! C - hangs the channel indefinitely D - hangups the channel without sending SIP REDIRECT (call is never fully answered) E - fails with Codec PROXY PASS-THROUGH encoder error! Any ideas how can I enjoy proxy_media and yet be able to play anything to the user if the bridge setup fails ? Bounty? Pawel,
