I read the wiki a few more times and I know the 'skip' option is causing
the behavior i'm seeing.  What's the difference between putting the
playback line as the first priority in the extension (and not having in
in macro-stdexten ) verses moving the playback inside the macro ?  I
thought functionally they would be the same.

exten => 8005,1,Playback(transfer,skip)
exten => 8005,2,Macro(stdexten,8005,Zap/2)     

exten => 8006,1,Playback(transfer,skip)
exten => 8006,2,Macro(stdexten,8006,Sip/8006)

[macro-stdexten]
exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG2},20)
exten => s,2,Voicemail(u${ARG1})
exten => s,102,Voicemail(b${ARG1})

Thanks
