> ReadExten(variable[,filename[,context[,option[,timeout\]\]\]\])
> Timeout handling for ReadExten can't compensate for length of the audio prompt.  I've created a patch for 1.8 branch that allows option 'd' to be specified to delay timeout until after playback.  Option 'd' has no effect on indications (option i).
> {code}
> same => n,ReadExten(OUTVAR,menu-playback,ivr-context,d,10)
> {code}
> This tells patched ReadExten to timeout 10 seconds after menu-playback finishes playing.  The audio is still interruptible by DTMF.  With a 20 second audio file and 10 second timeout the user is allowed up to 30 seconds to press the first key.
