25 * - Waits for up to 'x' milliseconds of silence, 'y' times \n
26 * - WaitForSilence(500,2) will wait for 1/2 second of silence, twice \n
27 * - WaitForSilence(1000,1) will wait for 1 second of silence, once \n
28 * - WaitForSilence(300,3,10) will wait for 300ms of silence, 3 times, and return after 10sec \n
