             Summary: Make AsyncAGI actually asynchronous; support asynchronous media operations
                 Key: ASTERISK-20882
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20882
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core/Stasis, Resources/res_agi/NewFeature
    Affects Versions: 12
            Reporter: Matt Jordan


AsyncAGI currently is not really asynchronous - while it allows for commands to be queued from AMI/CLI, the asynchronous break command is still queued for synchronous operation on a channel. Additionally, media operations (such as playback on a channel) can be controlled from the channel via DTMF, but cannot be controlled asynchronously by a remote source (AMI). This task is to do two things:
# Make AsyncAGI support asynchronous operations on a channel. AGI commands that act as dialplan execution should still be executed synchronously; AGI commands that query for information or can be executed asynchronously should execute immediately in the context of the thread that dispatches the command.
# Implement fine grained media control. This includes stop, pause, rewind, and fast forward for media being played on a channel. These operations should be initiated by the thread dispatching the command.

As a result of this, it may also be beneficial to place AsyncAGI in it's own separate module.
