BackgroundDetect plays a message while listening for DTMF, so that's not 
what he wants.

MachineDetect waits for silence, but doesn't really differentiate between live and recorded voice, so that's not what he wants.

Differentiating between live and recorded voice is a very hard problem, possibly impractical. Nobody has yet succeeded in producing a meaningful version of such a function. This is most definitely a developer issue, but probably not one that will result in an effective solution.
