[asterisk-speech-rec] SpeechBackround: accepting DTMF and speech at the same time? Why?

[Tom [toms400]]

Sorry if I wasn't clear.  My users are either using speech or entering
DTMF, it's up to them -- they aren't doing both at the same time, and
I don't want them to.

The problem is that some of them have phones that produce beeps
intended for them as audible feedback, not the person they're calling.
 That beep is basically just background noise.  So, even though
SpeechBackground picks up the out-of-band DTMF correctly, the speech
engine appears to be detecting that beep as speech, timesout and
returns an incomplete result.  Does this sound plausible?

Hope this makes sense and I'm not completely misunderstanding something.
