In 1.0.x parked calls will timeout to exten => s,1,Whatever in the 
correct context.  I don't know how CVS-HEAD handles it, but I do 
remember a discussion about CVS-HEAD doing the Right Thing, which is to 
timeout the call back to the extension that parked it.  I assumed that 
the behavour would be configurable, but I guess not.

r: Generate a ringing tone for the calling party, passing no audio from
the called channel(s) until one answers. Use with care and don't insert
this by default into all your dial statements as you are killing call
progress information for the user. Really, you almost certainly do not
want to use this. Asterisk will generate ring tones automatically where
it is appropriate to do so. "r" makes it go the next step and
additionally generate ring tones where it is probably not appropriate to
do so.
