Call with mmcli

mmcli --version
mmcli 1.23.12

I have MM with commit=441c32d981d72bd61af7b7e1e621ac5aa2dbdb74, because I was told of better GPS handling.

I tried to call from a terminal and I did not see any information about actions in the man page.

mmcli -m 0 --voice-create-call "number=XXX"
Successfully created new call: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Call/1
mmcli -m 0 -o 1 --start

error: no actions specified

And I cannot call using sxmo default method.
It works with gnome-calls.

I think that this is the relevant part in sxmo_modemdial.sh:

	sxmo_log "Attempting to dial: $NUMBER"

	if ! CALLID="$(
		mmcli -m any --voice-create-call "number=$NUMBER" |
		grep -Eo "Call/[0-9]+" |
		grep -oE "[0-9]+"
	)"; then
		sxmo_notify_user.sh --urgency=critical "We failed to initiate call"
		return 1
	fi

@realroot I think the issue is here:

mmcli -m 0 -o 1 --start


You don't need to pass the modem path (-m 0) since each call object is unique even across modems. What happens if you run this instead?

mmcli -o 1 --start


mmcli -o 1 --start

error: no actions specified

mentioned in merge request !1296 (merged)

You found a bug! Should be fixed by the linked MR (!1296 (merged)) when that lands.

mmcli -o 1 --start

  --------------------------
  General      |       path: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Call/0
  --------------------------
  Properties   |     number: XXX
               |  direction: outgoing
               | multiparty: no
  --------------------------
  Audio format |       rate: 0

If I use start/stop or nothing (mmcli -o 1) I see always that.

And this is the same after/before start:

mmcli -m any --voice-list-calls
    /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Call/1 outgoing (unknown)

I am not sure if this is normal.

After starting the call can I read the audio stream from /dev/something? cat /dev/something | play -t raw -r 8000 -c 1 -e u-law - ?
