=== Description ===

This script can be used for interactive audio session or for scripting alarms. The script returns appropriate shell response codes for failed or successful sessions. The script can be setup to auto answer and auto hangup after predefined number of seconds, detects SIP negative response codes, missing ACK and the lack of RTP media after a session has been established.

{{{
adigeo@ag-oxygen:~$sip_audio_session --help
Usage: sip_audio_session [options] [user@domain]

This script can sit idle waiting for an incoming audio session, or initiate an
outgoing audio session to a SIP address. The program will close the session
and quit when Ctrl+D is pressed.

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a NAME, --account=NAME
The account name to use for any outgoing traffic. If
not supplied, the default account will be used.
-c [FILE], --config-file=[FILE]
The path to a configuration file to use. This
overrides the default location of the configuration
file.
-s, --trace-sip Dump the raw contents of incoming and outgoing SIP
messages.
-j, --trace-pjsip Print PJSIP logging output.
-n, --trace-notifications
Print all notifications (disabled by default).
-S, --disable-sound Disables initializing the sound card.
--auto-answer Interval after which to answer an incoming session
(disabled by default). If the option is specified but
the interval is not, it defaults to 0 (accept the
session as soon as it starts ringing).
--auto-hangup Interval after which to hang up an established session
(applies only to outgoing sessions, disabled by
default). If the option is specified but the interval
is not, it defaults to 0 (hangup the session as soon
as it connects).
-D, --daemonize Enabled running this program as a deamon. Note that
this forces --disable-sound and --auto-answer.

=== Example for bonjour mode ===

In bonjour mode no server is used. This mode is useful for serverless ad-hoc LAN operation.

The actual bonjour protocol that uses multicast DNS to broadcast the contact SIP URIs is not implemented.

=== Alarm system ===

sip_audio_session script can be used for end-to-end testing of a SIP service. To setup the alarm system start periodically a caller script from a monitoring software using the following arguments: {{{
sip_audio_session --auto-hangup user@domain
}}}

Where the user@domain has been configured as the SIP account of the listener, can be an answering machine on the PSTN network. The caller script hangs up after each call. The shell return code can be used to determine if the session setup has failed. The failure can be caused by timeout, a negative response code or lack of RTP media after the SIP session has been established.
