asterisk users - Jan 2008 - Interrupt the swift text

Hi,

I am using Asterisk-1.4.11 version to make outbound calls and deliver the swift
text to audio.

My functionality is as for example i make this text to audio deliver the person
called.

Eg. swift -o /tmp/test.wav -p audio/channels=1,audio/sampling-rate=8000
"Press 1 to confirm. Press 3 to cancel."

extension.conf dialplan:

[dialout]
exten =>
outbound-handler,1,Dial(SIP/102,60,gM(outbound-connect^agi://10.1.1.68/ivr/speak^${CallInitiate_hashdata<mailto:SIP/${CallInitiate_phonenumber}@proxy2.bandtel.com,60,gM(outbound-connect^agi://10.1.1.68/ivr/speak^${CallInitiate_hashdata}^${MACHINE_STATUS_UNKNOWN>}))

[macro-outbound-connect]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,System(swift -o /tmp/test.wav -p
audio/channels=1,audio/sampling-rate=8000 "Press 1 to confirm. Press 3 to
cancel.")
exten => s,3,Background(/tmp/test)
exten => s,4,Hangup

exten => 1,1,Playback(thanks)
exten => 2,1,Playback(bye)

Here in this, the call is connected and answered the control transfer to macro
context. One way i can interrupt the text before it completes the text is by
using 'Background (/tmp/test)' to play the audio.

When iam in the middle of the audio if i press 1 before it completes the entire
text, the control should go to 'exten => 1,1,Playback(thanks)'. But
in macro the 'Background' doesnt seem to work. It works fine outside
macro context.

When i use the Asterisk cmd GoTo(new_context,extn,priority) inside macro, I get
a message 'channel jumping out of macro "outbound-connect"'
waits for a minute and hungs up, the control doesnt go to new_context.

Does anyone have any ideas i can work it out. How can i have the Asterisk cmd
Background inside macro? or how to execute the GoTo command?

Thanks and appreciate your response.

Regards,
Naveen.Palani

"Use Read to get the extension at the end with GotoIf on the variable
checks
and Background with the context parameter set to the macro context."

Thanks,

Naveen,

How about generating the wav files and storing them, then playing the wav's 
from the call tree, rather then re-generating the TTS every time. These seem 
to be static in nature.

I have really started to wish for 2 new standard commands - 
BackgroundApp and SpeechBackgroundApp to be added to Asterisk just for 
this sort of situation.
