[Freeswitch-users] Want to play music on hold while executing a time consuming operation in Lua

[Michael Collins]

Actually, I am looking into ways to accomplish these. They are somewhat
related to some recipes I am doing for the FS Cookbook. Please stand by.
FYI, I am looking at an ESL-based solution, not a dialplan script. Thus far
I have not found a viable way to do async stuff like this from a dp script
and I'm thinking ESL is the way to go. I will report back in a bit.
