[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch.EventConsumer, can be utilized event-based

[Michael Jerris]

as replied earlier, if your doing nothing but consuming events, you  
can just block instead of sleep:

con:pop(1)

there is also a msleep function that you can call the same way you do  
console_log, it takes milli seconds as its arg.  Note this should NOT  
be used when you have a script running as a session, only when you are  
running an api script.
