asterisk users - May 2010 - Execute AGI, Then Continue

Hi all,

I'm running Asterisk 1.6.2.7 using the following pseudo-dialplan (not actual
dialplan, because of complexity):

[something]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,n,AGI(blah,arg1,arg2)
exten => s,n,Playback(blah)
exten => s,n,DoMoreStuff()
exten => s,n,Hangup()

What I'd like to do, is have Asterisk launch my AGI script and continue
executing dialplan without waiting for the AGI to finish executing. I'm
aware that I can do this manually in my AGI by forking, but I'd like to
avoid doing it that way if possible.

I remember reading something a long time ago saying that there was a way to
do this, but I can't seem to find that documentation again. Am I crazy, or
is this possible to do without modifying my code?

Thanks for all help.

Why not do System(blah) instead of AGI(blah) unless there is some AGI
specific item you need. To quote Steve Edwards, "Do your AGI in C so it
will
run 100 times faster" and don't worry about when it comes back.
