[Asterisk-Users] If you know your party's extension # please dial it now ...

[Azher Amin]

But if you r using AGI scripting then u can the DTMF during the
Playbacks.

e.g.  $ret=$AGI->stream_file("$file","12*");

here it will return 0 if nothing out of 12* pressed duringthe playback,
otherwise it will stop playing and return either 1 2 *

Azher

Asterisk doesn't accept keystrokes during playback, 
use BackGround to play while waiting for keystrokes.
