[asterisk-users] Parallel dialing / running dialplan process in background

[Peter van Haaften]

Hi Dovid, thanks for that, it works! :)

[from-internal]
exten = 514316XXXX,1,Answer()
same => n,Dial(LOCAL/100 at extensions&LOCAL/101 at background)

[extensions]
exten => 100,1,Playback(hello)
same => n,JACK([i(SuperCollider:in_1), o(SuperCollider:out_1)])
same => n,Hangup()

[background]
Exten => 101,1,Congestion
Exten => h,1,AGI(test.py)
