Tilghman Lesher has posted details of some patches he has written to add audio to a remote AGI:
Several people in the past month have asked about sending audio of the call to a remote AGI server. Currently, this is not available, because when we connect to a remote AGI server, we connect on a single socket, which establishes a command channel. I've been thinking about how we might accomplish a secondary audio channel, and I've come up with what I believe is a good solution. I've created a patch which establishes the following commands:
open audio {tcp|udp} <hostname> <portno>
close audio
These commands would specify to what location audio data from the call would be sent. Due to the feature policy of Asterisk, these would not become a part of Asterisk until 1.8. However, because AGI commands are expandable at load time, these commands could very easily be added to 1.4 and 1.6.x, via a third party module (which I am considering writing, once this feature is in trunk).
What I need from the user community is for those who are interested to take a look and possibly test this new patch. The patch is currently in design phase, but testing could begin fairly soon. If you're interested in this functionality, I invite you to take a look and comment on the proposed syntax, as well as how the proposed usage would mesh with your individual needs.

Ok, bear with me on this one. If you understand all the ramifications, FreePBX has split to a new project called BlueBox contained within the 2600hz project. This obviously has implications for Trixbox that uses FreePBX to provide quite a bit of functionality.
