Description
I have created a source to feed caller id data to a YAC (Yet Another Caller ID Program, http://sunflowerhead.com/software/yac/) service. It is a program built originally for Windows to show incoming calls and messages. It works fine under Wine in Linux as well.
I use a HTPC solution from SageTv (http://www.sagetv.com/) and there is a module to load to show incoming calls (with the option to pause playback). Previously I have edited the Asterisk conf files manually to get it to work but having it here simplifies everything a lot.
According to http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+call+notification it also seems to be possible to use it with Tivo. Here is also something that possibly could be of interest, http://ncid.sourceforge.net/ncid/ncid.html
There are two settings that needs to be filled in, one for the server IP or domain name and one for the TCP port to be used (it is defaulted to 10629).

Very cool Nixi. Can you tell us what status you feel the attachment is in; I.E., Ready for testing, still needs work, etc.
If ready for acceptance testing - well GREAT!

It is ready and working fine with me but if anyone could give it a try that would be the best

Patrick - when you have time could you inspect for standards compliance, etc.

I did not notice anything obvious that can go wrong.
However, as I noted in XBMC, we probably need to remove the test for a valid ($first_caller_id != '')
as you probably want to have a display on your screen for at least the number even if a clid name was not found.
Also, just a comment, it is my understanding that all 'post processing'-only source position in the source lookup order are irrelevant as they are called only after a caller_id was found. The flyby comment may be changed to remove the recommendation of being the last source.

I agree - we should remove the check for CNAM and send the number in any event. Or - perhaps add a configuration option to control this behavior.

Release of this data source is held until the user option has been added - assuming thats going to be done.

Accepted for build 2.2.3. Will be inluded in live update when 2.2.3 is released
Ticket is left open for the extra parameters discussed. Its still a worthy upgrade - but no reason to hold the release of YAC.
