> In Asterisk 11, the {{Playback}} application can be terminated by redirecting the channel via the manager {{Redirect}} action. Channel breaks out of {{Playback}}, and {{PLAYBACKSTATUS}} is set to "SUCCESS":
> {noformat:title=Asterisk Call Manager/1.3}
> Action: Redirect
> Channel: SIP/301-00000000
> Exten: 3000
> Priority: 1
> Context: testing-redirect
> Response: Success
> Message: Redirect successful
> Event: VarSet
> Privilege: dialplan,all
> Channel: SIP/301-00000000
> Variable: PLAYBACKSTATUS
> Value: SUCCESS
> Uniqueid: 1452086660.0
> {noformat}
> In Asterisk 13, {{Redirect}} still breaks the channel out of {{Playback}}, but {{PLAYBACKSTATUS}} is now set to "FAILED":
> {noformat:title=Asterisk Call Manager/2.7.0}
> Action: Redirect
> Channel: SIP/301-00000000
> Exten: 3000
> Priority: 1

> Scripts now cannot rely on the result to determine if {{Playback}} did indeed encounter an error or if it was merely stopped, etc.
> Asterisk 13 has the manager {{ControlPlayback}} action that can stop playback of a file being played to a channel. However, if {{Playback}} is given more than one file name, then {{ControlPlayback}} only stops the file that's currently playing; {{Playback}} will proceed to play the next file. So {{ControlPlayback}} doesn't really break out of {{Playback}}.
> So to have Asterisk 13 cleanly stop {{Playback}}, the regression\(?\) on the {{PLAYBACKSTATUS}} value (Asterisk 11: "SUCCESS", Asterisk 13: "FAILED") should be fixed, or {{ControlPlayback}} should be changed to completely break out of {{Playback}}.
