I didn't realize Skype had a last.fm plugin. A lot of the Linux-lovin folks here use Amarok and it's Last.fm plugin. Good luck with Asterisk. :) Howdy,

Good luck with Asterisk. :)

Skype has some kind of Last.fm plug-in I've used in the past but I don't recall if it had the "Muted" feature. I am ready to join the open-VoIP ranks now that I just received my unlocked VoIP telephone adapter. Next I'll get started with Asterisk, I want to see what opportunities are out there to start saving and making money with VoIP.

In fact, Sonos had the only push as US Weekly and National Geographic don't seem to cover much in the tech industry; except for last month's iPhone back cover on National Geographic. Great aesthetics and pricing on the SlimServer; though, its remote doesn't seem as snazzy as the Sonos. We also have a bit of fun with btpd, the Bluetooth Presence Daemon. USB Bluetooth adapter, btpd, a Bluetooth mobile phone, Asterisk, and you've got yourself a little bit of roaming presence and call direction. Good call. :)

We use SNOM 360s/320s. We have put the "set volume to 5" URL in the SlimServer interface into the "phone off hook" action URL of the phones. It works exactly the same way as your example, and occasionally when a customer is in the office and sees it work, gets some very impressed reactions!
