Well, I've never seen dialplan like that - is this a very old version
of Asterisk, or psuedocode?
Anyway..
A subroutine MUST be balanced, and if a subroutine is aborted before
it reaches return, you'll be in all sorts of hell.
An example:
You make a subroutine of some sound files you want to loop through to
make an IVR menu.
You call it using Gosub. Someone presses two while the third of 5
tracks is playing.
The stack will then be unbalanced and you'll then be in a potential
world of stack overflow and unknown hell.
So keep the gosubs for things where they cannot be interrupted.
Playback is fine. Background and ControlPlayback is not. See?
Here's a solution to this problem which caused me HUGE amounts of
headaches early on (and I mean days and nights on end!)
Hope it helps...
