Well i don't see anything in the doc implying that the pound key should 
terminate the WaitExten timeout,
however this is the case for Read() but it's not the same use

Maybe a extension pattern like that:
        _X.# =>
This would help asterisk know that they he has a full extension match 
when reach the pound sign

Or use Read() instead
