[Freeswitch-users] Method of checking if media is being played at a session

[Hynek Cihlar]

I do it a little different, I wait for the EXECUTE event of the playback
application and search for the correlation id. The reason for the
correlation ID is to be able to react even in cases there are multiple
unbridged calls and some IVR logic going on on both of them.
