The people at idapted posted this example:

Also, you can look at the OpenACD code, as it uses mod_erlang_event
extensively (that's what I wrote it for):

http://github.com/Vagabond/OpenACD

Look specifically at the freeeswitch files under src.

Finally, there's a freeswitch.erl file included in the freeswitch tree
that is a wrapper around the modules's API (OpenACD makes a lot of use
of this module).
