When you make an originate request it works like this:

1. Call is made to the "Channel" parameter.
2. When the "Channel" answers it connects the other end to the 
application/context/extension.

So, send the channel to the SIP device and then the other end won't 
start till the SIP device picks up.

Again, looks like you have the order of the channels round the wrong way.

If you originated to a SIP device and sent the other end to the 
application PlayDTMF, then it would be sent to the SIP device (if that's 
what you want).
