You should use the 'filename' parameter of Read to play the audio so that it captures the input. Currently what's happening is that digits entered whilst background is running are passed into the dialplan context, since there's no match in the dialplan and you don't have an 'i' extension it will time out and hang up on you if you wait. To test this, add an exten => i,1,Playback(invalid) and you'll see that this is the case.

I'm having some issues with Background() and Read() commands.
See the example below. This is when I wait for Background to finish playing the sound file, before entering '12345#'. All works fine.

hestia*CLI> -- Executing Answer("SIP/2944093-3366", "") in new stack
   -- Executing Wait("SIP/2944093-3366", "1") in new stack
   -- Executing BackGround("SIP/2944093-3366", "if-u-know-ext-dial") in new 
stack
   -- Playing 'if-u-know-ext-dial' (language 'en')
   -- Executing Read("SIP/2944093-3366", "number||||||") in new stack
   -- User entered '12345'
   -- Executing NoOp("SIP/2944093-3366", "12345") in new stack
 == Auto fallthrough, channel 'SIP/2944093-3366' status is 'UNKNOWN'

However, if I start to enter digits before Background() is finished, background 
stops playing the file, and nothing happens after this point. I keep hitting # 
and still no reply. It didn't even execute the Read().

hestia*CLI> -- Executing Answer("SIP/2944093-6437", "") in new stack
   -- Executing Wait("SIP/2944093-6437", "1") in new stack
   -- Executing BackGround("SIP/2944093-6437", "if-u-know-ext-dial") in new 
stack
   -- Playing 'if-u-know-ext-dial' (language 'en')

Here's extensions.conf:
exten => 1000,1,Answer
exten => 1000,2,Wait,1
exten => 1000,3,Background(if-u-know-ext-dial)
exten => 1000,4,Read(number||||||)
exten => 1000,5,NoOp(${number})

Anyone got any ideas?
