A(x) does not accomplish this. It completes the playback and then dials. What I would like is that dialing should start in parallel and playback should stop as soon as early media or ringing starts.
Similarly, music-on-hold is not an option, it's too hard coded, I like to be able to change playback file dynamically. Any hints??
