Summary:                    Read application buffers input DTMF tones
Description: 
The Read application is used to take the user's input and place it into a
variable but sometimes if it does not properly receive the DTMF tone(s), it
buffers the input and places it into the NEXT Read call's input buffer and
prepends it to the variable there.

One major thing we've noticed is that it's always the last digit of the
input.
For example, we get the uer's language selection and for some reason the
server does not get the entered digit "1" as show below:

-------------
--Executing[s at select_lang:3] BackGround("SIP/[provider name
removed]-08218e30", "prepaid-lang_select")
<SIP/[provider name removed]-08218e30> Playing 'prepaid-lang_select'
(language 'en')
--Executing[s at select_lang:4] Read("SIP/[provider name removed]-08218e30",
"lang_input||1")
Accepting a maximum of 1 digits.
User entered nothing.
-------------

Our dialpan tests for empty input and loops back to get it again. This
time, the first 1 is "received"  and the new "1" is buffered:

-------------
--Executing[s at select_lang:5] GotoIf("SIP/[provider name
removed]-08218e30", "1?6:13")
Goto (select_lang,s,6)
--Executing[s at select_lang:6] GotoIf("SIP/[provider name
removed]-08218e30", "1?7:10")
Goto (select_lang,s,7)
--Executing[s at select_lang:7] Set("SIP/[provider name removed]-08218e30",
"loop=2")
--Executing[s at select_lang:8] Goto("SIP/[provider name removed]-08218e30",
"getinput")
Goto (select_lang,s,3)
--Executing[s at select_lang:3] BackGround("SIP/[provider name
removed]-08218e30", "prepaid-lang_select")
<SIP/[provider name removed]-08218e30> Playing 'prepaid-lang_select'
(language 'en')
--Executing[s at select_lang:4] Read("SIP/[provider name removed]-08218e30",
"lang_input||1")
Accepting a maximum of 1 digits.
User entered '1'
-------------

This time, since there's a language selected, we set the language (no need
to show this), and then move on to get the pin number. This is where we can
really see the error, since the pin entered was 222333444555, but Read sees
122233344455:

-------------
--Executing[sw-5-callback at authentication:8] BackGround("SIP/[provider name
removed]-08218e30", "prepaid-enter-pin")
<SIP/[provider name removed]-08218e30> Playing 'prepaid-enter-pin'
(language 'en')
--Executing[sw-5-callback at authentication:9] Read("SIP/[provider name
removed]-08218e30", "pin||14")
Accepting a maximum of 14 digits.
User entered '1222333444555'
-------------

The next executions are omitted because they pertain to the database
queries used to determine if the pin is correct, which it is not. We then
loop back to try again. Unfortunately, the input is ALWAYS wrong because
the last digit of the previous input keeps getting prepended as shown
above.

Excellent, I'll do so during our testing session this afternoon. Thanks for
the work so far, I've got my fingers crossed.
