I’m using Elastix, Asterisk version 1.8
The basic system works well. Send receive calls with no problem.

When trying to use VDP and starting with the Hello World demo, I get either the leading part of the message playback clipped or the tail clipped. Head or tail is random. When I try to put a wait prior to the message playback it has no effect, same is true for placing the wait after the playback. I’ve tried waits of 3 seconds and 10 seconds with no difference in result. Is this something I’m doing wrong in VDP or is it in the PBX?

Strange, I am using the same Elastix version with VDP and all works just fine, no sound files clipping…
I guess you should look at your Elastix configuration.
Just my 2c.

I’m using a different computer and the clipping issue seems to be resolved. However I still cannot implement a wait/pause before the playback occurs.

OK, so maybe I don’t understand call flow like I thought I did. Why is it I can put the wait statement in the outbound_vdp and get the desired result. Isn’t calling 56781 from another extension an inbound call?

Nope, it is standard outbound call.

If you want to test inbound (incoming) call flow you should call the PBX from an outside line (trunk), or, you can trick the PBX by changing the Context the Extension will execute when you make the call.
By default all extensions will execute from-internal context but you can can change it to from-pstn and Elastix will treat all calls from that extensions like outside calls (inbound calls).
Try it with one extension to get an idea.
