You can already do that with simple dialplan:

exten => 8114,1,Answer
exten => 8114,n,PlayTones(1004/1000)
exten => 8114,n,Wait(300)

There is no need to insult the developers.  Yes, there's a reason why the
typical milliwatt application is not exactly 1000Hz.  I think we've actually
left the Milliwatt application the way that it is for historical reasons,
ironically enough.
