Avi,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately that did not work. This is what I did


    <extension name="MyExtension">
      <condition field="destination_number" expression="9005">
            <action application="answer"/>
            <action application="play_and_get_digits" data="4 16 3 7000 # phrase:MyPrompt phrase:My_invalid_entry case_number \d+" />
            <action application="playback" data="phrase:wait_msg" />
            <action application="sched_broadcast" data="+0 playback::/tmp/WPJ_MUSIC_QUEUE_4.wav"/> 
            <action application="lua" data="get_customer_info.lua ${case_number}" />
       </condition>
    </extension>

The music only plays after the Lua script exits. I played around with the timer value, but that did not help either. Any other ideas?

Thanks
JP

ESL gives you more control, especially to execute things in parallel.
If you want to do it within FS, that's a little more complicated, since most things are sequential.

However, if you use the async APIs, then I think it could work:
1) sched_broadcast -- schedule the playback of your file on the UUID of the channel, for +0, meaning now.
2) run your lua script
3) Then stop (break) the playback on that uuid: break
4) Continue with your execution.

Please wikify your results and let us know how that works out!

I want to do the following...

1. Play a long music file from a dialplan.
2. While the music is playing, I want to launch a Lua script to do some data dip.
3. Once the data is fetched and Lua exits, I want to interrupt the music and continue in the dialplan

How do I do this. Any sample code or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
