Summary:                    Background always returns an AGI result of zero if
interrupted by DTMF tone
Description: 
The Background application used to return the DTMF key value if the
playback of the sound file had been interrupted by a DTMF tone. 

In upgrading from Asterisk 1.4.17 to 1.4.26.1, we were consistently
getting an AGI response of "200 result=0" for the "EXEC Background
<soundfile>" task we were executing, despite different DTMF tones being
generated.

The changes made to the Background method since revision 193119 (7 May
2009) appear to have stopped it from returning the DTMF key value in the
200 AGI response. 

We had initially suggested a fix to main/pbx.c in the
pbx_builtin_background method that line 9169 shouldn't assign res to
exten[0] but we understand from tilgham that this was intentional. However,
re-compiling Asterisk with line 9169 set to our initial assumption of:
if ((exten[0] == res) && !ast_matchmore_extension(chan, args.context,
exten, 1, chan->cid.cid_num)) {
does mean we once again get the desired behaviour for Background.

I'll leave the appropriate fix in your capable hands, but something around
this line needs considering if a DTMF tone interrupts the Background
command.

The change you proposed is incorrect.  As explained in two other forums,
you should be using STREAM FILE, not the Background application.
