You can use the "read" application to get some digits. This application
returns the number a user entered in a variable. If the user enters '*'
the variable is set to an empty string. You can than proceed in Your
dialplan. To distinguish the answers, You can use the function "len".
The read application is able to play a audio file. (see the doc with
'core show application read')

One little hint: If You start a new thread, create a new message instead
of using an old one. Your question is now part of the thread "about
application jack and its runtime", what is probably not what You want.
Maybe some people ignore Your mail, because they are not interessted in
"jack"...
