Background(filename1[&filename2...][,options[,language]])
Plays the specified audio file(s) while waiting
for the user to begin entering an extension. Once the user begins
to enter an extension, the playback is terminated. The
filename should be specified without a file
extension, as Asterisk will automatically find the file format with
the lowest translation cost.
Valid options include one of the
following:
skip
-
Causes the playback of the message to be skipped
if the channel is not in the "up" state (i.e., hasn't yet been
answered). If skip is specified, the application will
return immediately should the channel not be off-hook.
noanswer
-
Does not answer the channel before playing the
specified file. Without this option, the channel will automatically
be answered before the sound is played. Not all channels support
playing messages before being answered.
The language argument may be
used to specify a language to use for playing the prompt, if it
differs from the current language of the channel.
Returns -1 if the channel was hung up,
or if the given filename does not exist; otherwise, returns
0.
