What exactly commands I should invoke in AGI instead of <start music> and <stop music> ? STREAM FILE returns only after file ends, this is not what I want.

Execute 'stream file' in a separate thread.

I use this when processing credit card authorizations. My dialplan executes my AGI (auth-card) with the card number and expiration date in channel variables.

The AGI creates a 'background' thread that plays 'Please wait while we authorize your card -- and get ready for a good time!' while the 'mainline' code ships the card number and expiration date off to the card processor.

We almost always get a response (authorized or declined) back before the background thread finishes so the 'user experience' is that credit card authorizations are 'instantaneous.'
