Description:app_queue can currently report the caller's expected hold time to the caller, but does not have any ability to report the caller's actual hold time to the agent. This is useful information, for the agents to have an idea of how backed up the queue is (so they can speed along their calls <G>), or to handle customers who say they were "on hold for 20 minutes" when in reality it was 6 minutes.

This patch adds a new configuration option to report the caller's hold time to the agent. The report is made just after the queue announcement (if one is configured), and uses a new soundfile (queue-reporthold.gsm), which is just Allison saying "hold time". For my installation I just clipped this out of queue-holdtime and it works fine.

Just like the position announcement, if the hold time was less than two minutes the agent is told "Hold time less than 2 minutes", otherwise they are told the actual hold time (rounded to the nearest minute).

Great idea!  Needs to have a script and prompts recorded though.

There is only a single recording necessary, as best I can tell. I'm not sure what you mean by "script"... is that a script for Allison, or something else?

If it's for Allison, here it is:
