Nobody on the list suggested this method that I saw:

Use the "Background" application, but play silence.  You'll notice in 
the asterisk-sounds directory (the additional package) there is a 
directory called "silence" which contains 10 files ranging from 1 to 
10 seconds of silence.  Works the same as Wait from the user's 
perspective (they hear nothing) but lets the user type keys.  That's 
why I made those files; it's only a slightly ugly hack, and it works 
quite well. :-)
