That would be the obvious answer, except that ast_safe_sleep() requires a channel pointer, and a res_config module isn't going to have one to pass in.

I think you need to find a different solution that doesn't require the res_config module to sleep at all... users of ast_realtime APIs are going to expect to get an immediate result, and if they don't then there could be really bizarre side effects.
