Summary:                    Background() when called from AGI script no longer
gives digit code when interrupted
Description: 
When calling the Background application from within an AGI script, asterisk
no longer returns the character value of a digit pressed while the audio
file is still being played.

This means if a user does not wait for the audio file to finish before
pressing a digit, it's impossible to find out what was pressed.

That may be a potential workaround, but obviously EXEC Background should
work, too.
