[*] Asterisk@Home - Record Incoming and Record Outgoing (Browser-friendly)

[John Lange]

Getting *@Home to work with your own custom config files is _very_ hard.
>From my limited experience you either go 100% with the AMP GUI for
configuring or not at all.

If you over-wrote the default config files that come with *@Home with
your own then you probably broke AMP. It relies on its config files for
most of it's functionality. This would probably explain why your
recording isn't working now.

Any custom stuff is supposed to go in the alternate files.
