Then, as Eric suggested, externivr() may be fruitful.

Just as a 'disclaimer,' I'm just a 1.2 Luddite so if some newer 
functionality exists I may not know about it.

I don't know if externivr() will give you the 'start-streaming-file, 
continue with my dialplan, stop-streaming-file' kind of experience.

I think externivr() may still be very 'AGIish' -- you call it, do do a 
bunch of stuff in it, and then return to your dialplan.
