Well, haven't you ever wished you could automatically +# turn down the volume on your stereo, CDPlayer, etc, when a call comes in, +# and then return it to normal when the call ends? Well, this is a possible +# mechanism to make this happen! +# You have to fire up the new utils/muted, which runs as a daemon in the +# background. This daemon connects to asterisk via a manager interface, and +# also reads this config file from /etc/muted.conf. when the channels mentioned +# are activated, it tweaks the sound levels on the sound card(s). +# So, depending on the sound card, you may be able to run all your sound +# generating devices thru your sound card, and use this mechanism to quiet +# them down while you are on the phone. If anyone figures out how to make +# this work with kids, please inform!! +# # First you have the host, username, and password # we use to connect to the asterisk system #
