AGI(agi:async) is the correct invocation.  AsyncAGI is still an AGI and
behaves as such.  The primary difference between the flavors of AGI is
where the commands AGI executes come from.  For AsyncAGI, the commands
are passed to Asterisk with AMI actions.  Command responses are passed back
the same way.  One thing to note is that the AGI AMI actions use "CommandID"
instead of the normal "ActionID".

The most definitive documentation is always the source code. :)
For AGI this is in the res/res_agi.c file.
