[Freeswitch-users] Aalternative to PlayAndGetDigits

[kthofer]

Hi Michael

Most likely you don't want to be running that inside an event handler and blocking there.

thats exactly we like to avoid!!

How can we avoid it
we used play and get digits to start and stop voice mail announcements
but stopped it and did start working with
dtmf events and $con->execute("playback"...
but this has issues because  we can not break synchronety in ESL
so we are thinking of going back to play and get digits or do you have 
some other alternative?





With best regards

Karl Theo Hofer
