I'm not sure I'm understanding what you want to do. The read() application 
plays a file and reads keypresses terminated by "#." (It does more, so you 
should read the console description.) Thus:

 	exten = *,n,			read(foo,demo-congrats)

will play demo-congrats. If the caller starts pressing keys, playback is 
stopped. When the caller presses "#" the preceding keypresses are 
available to the dialplan in the channel variable "foo." It has nothing to 
do with ${EXTEN}.

Is this not what you want to do?
