People who know more about Asterisk than I do:

I have a device that will give me sound data, hook status, and tell me when a button is pressed. If I want to plumb this into Asterisk, what's the best approach? I'd rather not deal with an out of tree channel, so it /seems/ like ARI+chan_websocket is the best approach, but I'm not clear on how I'm supposed to know that enough digits have been entered to initiate a call, for instance (just keep originating with a longer set of numbers every time?)
