XML: <StartGather>
The StartGather verb is used to get asynchronous notifications of DTMF digits collected in the call while other verbs are executed.
It can, for instance, listen for DTMF digits while a call is in a <Conference>,
in a <Transfer>, in a <Bridge>, or while executing other verbs.
It cannot be used with the <Forward> verb.
It is paused during the execution of a <Gather> verb; digits pressed during a <Gather> will not be duplicated as DTMF events.
The StartGather verb can be cancelled by the <StopGather> verb.
