[asterisk-users] Keep playing Background while dialling invalid dtmf extensions

[Harald Friessnegger]

hi asterisk users

How can i make asterisk "ignore" invalid extensions, and go on playing the
background soundfile?

Normally, asteriks will take the user to the invalid extension if the caller
presses anything other than 1 or 2 in the following context::

  [example]
  exten => s,1,Answer()
  exten => s,2,Background(hello-world)
  exten => s,n,Goto(s,2)
  exten => i,1,Playback(invalid)
  exten => i,n,Goto(s,2)
  exten => 1,1,Goto(sub1,s,2)
  exten => 2,1,Goto(sub2,s,2)


I'd like asterisk to goto `sub1` if `1` is pressed or to `sub2` if `2` is
pressed.
However, if a users presses `3` asterisk shall go on playing `hello-world`
and wait
for a correct extension.

If i leave out the i extension the call gets terminated when dialling a
wrong extension.


Any ideas or pointers welcome.
