If you are attempting to black hole a telemarketer, you don't need to
worry about being able to retrieve the call. There should be no problem
either sending the call to a context that randomly or in order picks
audio files from a directory to play. No biggy. You can play either
standard recorded files or even mp3s without any worry of the music on
hold.
