Summary:                    Agi in live & dead channels? Don't drop DeadAGI from
live.
Description: 
According to http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=10210, the DeadAGI will be
phased out from working on live
channels. In the a2billing project (www.asterisk2billing.org), DeadAGI is
the core element which calculates destination, dials and after the call
records the call charges, all in one AGI call.

Is there some other AGI method that can manipulate a call both at Dial and
after that?
If no, could you reconsider banning DeadAGI on live channels?

1) Using DeadAGI for live calls has always been the wrong choice.  We're
just enforcing it.  Likewise, using AGI for hungup calls has always been
the wrong choice, but that was enforced from the get-go.
2) Your script can still live past hangup when using AGI; it simply won't
be able to interact with Asterisk anymore:  just set a signal handler for
the SIGHUP signal.
3) If you wish to interact with an AGI script past hangup, you can call
DeadAGI on a separate script at that point.
