[Freeswitch-users] moh background in Lua

[Tjardick van der Kraan]

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the quick and detailed reply.

Could i pick your brain on the last remark, what i'd like to do is:

- play a configurable time of hold music (30 seconds in the example)  
but this will be a variable later
- play a message (and optionally detect dtmf if needed)
- if no dtmf then continue music

and loop the above.

So basically creating an inbound holding point for people to wait  
before their call is answered, but give them the option to leave the  
'queue' to direct them else where.

Would in the async ESL i be able to stop the stream of music or would  
i need to do a bridge to local/9999 and unbridge to continue when i  
want to? Would ESL be the best way to
do this ?

Thanks for the help so far.

Regards,

Tj
