Wait doesn't read DTMF? Was Re: [Asterisk-Users] Collecting dialed digits

[Benjamin Miller]

A) Modify res_musiconhold.c and the application "WaitMusicOnHold" to
accept DTMF breakout
B) Create a call queue with a timeout of X and configure the DTMF
options properly.  Then you can drop callers into this queue and effect
a music on hold for X seconds and allow DTMF breakout with no C code.

If wait doesn't break on DTMF then waitmusiconhold probably doesn't
either.

That explains some of the complaints from callers about it ignoring DTMF
at times...

I need to play music on hold for a set amount of time but still break on
DTMF, how would I do that?

Any suggestions?
