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?

After a discussion w/ corydon on irc it seems this may be something we
might want to do.  (and him fixing a misunderstanding i had about some
stuff when an agi exits) 

However that still wont change how you should setup the behaviour you
wanted, you should still follow the examples i gave below.  What this does
mean however is your agi ignores the SIGHUP you will still be able to talk
to asterisk in a limited functionality 'dead' mode.  So you'll be able to
find out what happened to last call etc, but not place any others.. if you
wish to place any others you need to follow the example i gave below and of
course make sure your originating channel does not hang up.
