[Serusers] Questions about sems/answer_machine IVR plugin

Greetings...

From the CVS repositories I picked up ser and sems. Nicely done! Tried to execute some scenarios and ser/sems seem to work good. Also tried the sems' IVR feature using Python.

1. The playAndDetect method/function seems to play the announcement but the return value seems to be invalid. The return values are some very large numbers when I print them.

What could I possibly being doing wrong? The calling phone is Linux based softphone from Zultsys (and it seems to work quite well).

2. The timeout argument to playAndDetect does not seem to have any effect - it seems to return almost immediately. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Best regards, -Arun.
