[Asterisk-Users] Background() command

[Bill Seddon]

I have a similar dial plan that works just fine.  What I did find is that my
sip phones were set to play DTMF tones "in-band" but they needed to be rfc
(think this setting has to line up with your setting in sip.conf).  If they
don't match, you can press keys until the cows come home but Asterisk will
not hear them.

Folks,

Apologies ahead of time if this has already been asked (read the list for 
the last month looking
for something similar).

I have been trying to get the Background command to work with no joy yet.

Here is what I am trying to do:

1. Answer the call.
2. Play the message in the background, while waiting on DTMF from user.
3. If I get a "1", then interrupt the message and dial the phone number
listed
     at extension "1", otherwise play "invalid extension" and cycle back.

Here is what I have so far:

* note: phone numbers changed to "generic"

[message]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,Wait(2) 	;Pause to let the user end catch up with the
connection
exten => s,3,Background(demo-congrats)
exten => s,4,Goto(3)

exten => t,1,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => t,2,Hangup()

exten => i,1,Playback(pbx-invalid)
exten => i,2,Goto(s,3)

exten => 1,1,Playback(transfer)
exten => 1,2,Dial(SIP/4805551212/20)

[incoming]

exten => 8665551212,1,Goto(message,s,1)

What I get is:

1. The number is answered and the demo-congrats file plays.
2. No matter what button I press on the phone, the file continues to play 
and recycle when it's done.

Question(s):

1. Is there a proper way to configure this?
2. Am I missing a configuration step somewhere in the one of the conf files.

Thanks in advance,

...Paul
