I have an application where I need to be able to start a file playing back
on a channel, but be able to continue with execution in my agi-script /
dialplan whilst the file plays. I will then stop the playback later.
The idea is to start a "please wait" type message on the channel but be able
to continue routing the call in the meantime and be able to immediately
interrupt and cancel the playback when we have something to do. Kind of
like a "ringing" but using a generator that plays back a file.
I do this with a multi-threaded AGI that authorizes credit card
transactions. I create a thread to play "Please wait while..." and then
process the authorization in the "foreground."
By the time the prompt finishes I usually have my authorization response
so the process appears instantaneous to the caller.
Thanks in advance,
