Summary:                    [patch] bad master selection
Description: 
Current dahdi master handling work in the following way:
The first SPAN become a master
If a new registered !!! SPAN is preferred , it is the new master
If a span is unregistered - the new master is the first available span
If master SPAN is in alarm state - the new master is the first non in
alarm state SPAN

So
1. dahdi-dummy once loaded will be the master forever.
2. even not-running SPAN can be a master
3. master implementation is ugly...

We will not be adding any more features to Zaptel at this point, so yes,
your patches must be made against dahdi-linux.

The patches look reasonably good, but you'll need to follow our coding
guidelines and the existing style of the code. If you can upload patches
that meet our coding guidelines, I'll get them merged. Thanks!
