I've done this with Asterisk 1.2
About an year ago I was hyped by how easily voice menus could be created using Asterisk. Mainly letting voice menus interact with PD and I didn't do much audio work.
Asterisk has a platform to easily integrate scripts called AGI. Any language which returns commands in the required format to STDOUT can be used with AGI. I prepared some PHP scripts that were called when pressing the dial pad, which would then throw UDP packets to PD. .. nothing fascinating.
As a matter of fact, I had an Asterisk server running at home which allowed users to login using the touchpad, then record their voices which get mixed with a BGM of their choice and auto upload to their blog. I may have a bit of knowledge to get total newbies started.
(But please don't count on it too much.. haven't touched it in a while)

Hey all,
I just met the development team of Asterisk at a talk they gave. For
those who don't know it, it's free software for building complete
phone systems, including voicemail, touch tone menus, voice prompts,
voice recogniztion integration, etc. It's very cool software, it
allows you to do whatever you want with phones.Anyway, I was thinking that Pd and Asterisk would be a very natural
pair, so I am wondering whether anyone has tried using the two together..hc
