[Freeswitch-users] Ringback with originate?

[Noah Silverman]

Hi,

I'm writing a script to connect one of my SIP phones with an external  
number via a web interface.  (Like "click to call".)  Right now, I'm  
using xml_rpc and after some help from the guys on IRC, I've got it  
working nicely.

When I execute the script, first my local SIP phone rings.  I answer  
it and hear silence until the person on the other end of the call  
answers their phone.

It would be nice if I could simulate some kind of ringing sound so  
that It sounds like I'm hearing the other phone ring like a normally  
placed call.

I THOUGHT that the "ringback" variable would do this, but no matter  
what I try, I  don't get any sound.

Here is what I'm sending now...
<value><string>{$${us-ring},accountcode=1}sofia/internal/ 
3235551212%111.111.111.111 &amp;bridge(accountcode=1}sofia/internal/13237773456 at outbound1.vitelity.net 
) XML internal 3235551212 3235551212</string></value>


Interestingly, (or not), I can control which phone works by the order  
I use in the originate command.  If I set MY phone first and the  
outside number in the bridge, then I ring first.  If I set the outside  
number first and my phone in the bridge, then they ring first.

Any suggestions?
