[Freeswitch-users] Event Socket Questions

[Bill Binko]

Ok, I have gotten the DTMF to work, and am much happier now.  I have a 
nice framework forming that will make it easy for us to develop 
PHP-based IVR apps, monitors, etc.

Live is looking better.

However, I have some questions about the Event Socket interface that I 
would love some help on.

First, it seems that when in 'async full' mode, you get ALL the events 
for any connections, not just the one you were invoked on (in outbound 
mode).  If that's true, how do I discern which events are for my call?  
I suppose I could use the UUID in the Event, but that seems fairly 
wasteful - shouldn't I be able to just register for "my" events (that's 
why I'm calling "myevents" ;-)

Second, what is the difference between the three ways to invoke 
functionality?  There's the "basic" commands like "myevents", "event 
plain ALL", "log DEBUG".  Then there are the api commands that are 
invoked like "api uuid_broadcast <UUID> <path>", and then there are the 
sendMsg command like "sendmsg\ncall-command: execute\nexecute-app-name: 
answer\nexecute-app-arg: \n\n"

Each of these seem to invoke functionality in the current call (or the 
call with the given UUID), and there seems to be overlap (i.e. there is 
an 'answer' command in the API), but they all have different syntaxes, 
Content-Types and corresponding result messages.

This isn't a complaint, I'm just trying to sort out when to use each.  
I'll be happy to update the wiki with the clarification.

Finally, assuming this becomes reasonably usable, how do I add it to the 
contributed scripts?

Thanks,
Bill
