I'm a 1.2 Luddite, but this sounds like:

   -= Info about application 'ControlPlayback' =-

[Synopsis]
Play a file with fast forward and rewind

[Description]
   ControlPlayback(file[|skipms[|ff[|rew[|stop[|pause[|restart|options]]]]]]]):
This application will play back the given filename. By default, the '*' key
can be used to rewind, and the '#' key can be used to fast-forward.
Parameters:
   skipms  - This is number of milliseconds to skip when rewinding or
             fast-forwarding.
   ff      - Fast-forward when this DTMF digit is received.
   rew     - Rewind when this DTMF digit is received.
   stop    - Stop playback when this DTMF digit is received.
   pause   - Pause playback when this DTMF digit is received.
   restart - Restart playback when this DTMF digit is received.
Options:
   j - Jump to priority n+101 if the requested file is not found.
This application sets the following channel variable upon completion:
   CPLAYBACKSTATUS -  This variable contains the status of the attempt as a text
                      string, one of: SUCCESS | USERSTOPPED | ERROR

Am I missing something?
