[Freeswitch-users] Executing multiple applications in parallel

[JP]

MC,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately outbound event socket application is not
an option for me right now. I was wondering if the following "ideas" can be
of any use to me( I know I am trying clutch at straws, but hope is eternal
:))
1. Use "bgapi". Although on the wiki I only see this used with "originate".
2. Can I use a conference to park the caller there while playing music on
another call leg of the conference. Meanwhile can I execute the Lua script
:))
3. Can I launch another Lua script from my original one asynchronously?
4. Can I have a start up Lua script running in the background listening for
some custom events and I can have the main caller thread generate the
custom event and then start playing long music file. Once the background
Lua script is done with the data dip, it can just break the music on the
other channel.

That's it from me. Someone help me from sinking... please.

Thanks,
-JP
