[asterisk-users] [asterisk-dev] How to play audio file in background in dialplan?

[Danny Nicholas]

The AGI technology is more "tried and true" (IMHO) than anything you're
going to do in the dialplan.  If you want to do 2 things, make the agi do
this
<start music>
Fork or shell task 1
Fork or shell task 2
<stop music>

AGI is your "friend" here - the dialplan is definitely going to be more
fickle.

Yes, part of task is executed in AGI. But, I still do not understand how I
can do something with Asterisk while it locks pbx execution for channel on
particular application.
I prefer simple solution like:
same=>n,start-play-in-background-app(file-to-play)
same=>n,do-one-stuff()
a-lot-of-`same=>n,do-something`s-here
same=>n,do-other-stuff()
same=>n,stop-play-in-background-app()
In generally I need something like PlayTones/StopPlayTones pair, but instead
of giving list of tones/name-of-list I want give name of freshly generated
file.
