[Freeswitch-users] Javascript input

[Jonas Gauffin]

Why not simply make another streamFile method that aborts on input.
Then the user can choose which one he wants.

I can elaborate my wish too. I guess that you have used a lot of IVR
applications, right?
For instance, you call your phone provider and they have a IVR menu
before the call center. The first time you call them you listen on all
the choices and press the correct DTMF after each phrase.

But after a couple of times you have learned that "1 2 1" get's you to
the correct queue. Do you then want to hear all the phrases or do you
want to be able to press the correct DTMF digits right away?

You must agree with me that that is the most common way of coding IVR
apps, right? How often do you want to force the customer to listen to
a phrase?

As I see it, it's only when you play important phrases. And how often is that?

I'm quite interested in your point of view. Why did you make
ignore-and-eat-all-DTMF the default choice?
