mute

Hi, We're trialling a Asterisk Now server to take over from our ageing PBX system. One of the "nice to have" features would be the ability to pause or lower the volume on the office jukebox if an incoming call is detected.

We currently run a linux jukebox which plays music out of the speakers using mpd and can be controlled by the mpc client. We can manually issue the following command to achieve this:

mpc volume 20

Does anyone know how to get asterisk to execute this command or some action that we could hook into when a phone call is incoming to specific extensions?
