Nope, unfortunately not.

Sure. While ARI uses a subscription model for events, you can get more
events for things going on in Asterisk than just what occurs in your Stasis
application. You do that by subscribing to Asterisk event sources through
the /applications resource [1].

Generally, subscribing to an endpoint or an endpoint technology will show
you the most, as that will subscribe you implicitly to all channels created
for that endpoint/technology.

That's not really how Asterisk development works :-)

While there are plans for larger projects that were discussed at
AstriDevCon [2] available for coordination and discussion on the Asterisk
wiki [3], these are by no means guaranteed to occur. They are a roadmap,
but not a guaranteed delivery.

Asterisk is open source. Anyone, at any time, can write a patch for
Asterisk and contribute it back to the project. If someone wanted to add
WebSockets to AMI, that'd be a welcome addition. But no one is "on the
hook" to provide such a thing.

Currently, I'm not aware of anyone who has proposed that development or has
expressed interest in doing it.
