Re: ooh323 in Asterisk and Cisco Call Manager

The mediaWaitForConnect flag is always set by ooh323 to false. When CCM 
wants to route a call to PSTN it sends a SETUP message to the PSTN 
interface (a different machine) to set up a call between * and the PSTN, 
just like it sets up a call to another extension normally. But for 
reasons known only to Cisco it wants CCM to monitor the call (I think) 
because it wants to continue to provide dial tone. I guess it wants to 
provide (a different) dial tone after you have pressed 9 for an external 
line. With mediaWaitForConnect set to false the call goes through and is 
then torn down by CCM about 8 seconds later. When set to True is works 
as it should.
