Answer 1

You can definietly do this with AMI if you know the Channel ID.

asterisk*cli> manager show command PauseMonitor
[Syntax]
Action: PauseMonitor
[ActionID:] <value>
Channel: <value>

asterisk*cli> manager show command UnpauseMonitor
[Syntax]
Action: UnpauseMonitor
[ActionID:] <value>
Channel: <value>

Answer 2

Asterisk have nothing to do with your playback.

Asterisk is pbx. You can DOWNLOAD recording. Doesn't metter if your browser/app play it or show as "downloaded", on asterisk side it will be DOWNLOAD.

So you have deal with it on your side.

If you want pause playback in Dialplan(via phone), use ControlPlayback app.

There are no current calls tracking, asterisk track only channels. For see it use AMI command

COMMAND core show channels

You can do current calls tracking using dialplan+db.
