Well, you can capture everything with a regex of ".*" and then just rely on
the timeout. It's the only way to do it without a lot of hassle. If you're
into hassle then you have other options:

Capture digits one at a time and do fun/crazy logic to see if you have what
you need
Hack playandgetdigits to allow ## to be a terminator.

I'd start with eliminating the terminator characters first and testing it
out. You can shorten your timeout value so the user isn't waiting too long
after dialing ##. Give it a test drive and see if it will work.
