Summary:                    channels stays open after the call has finished
Description: 
Hi

I noticed that after a call finishes in asterisk, I do "show channels" in
the CLI and I still see the channel is open, and the only way to clear it
is restarting it.

Also, why does asterisk open more than one channel per call?

Thanks,

Diego

Because a channel is a call leg.  A call that connects two parties (as
opposed to just connecting a party to a backend application, like MeetMe or
Voicemail) uses two channels.

I suggest that you set rtptimeout in sip.conf to something reasonable,
like 60.  Asterisk will then hangup all calls for which it does not receive
RTP for 60 seconds.  This should clear up these problems when the phone is
disconnected for whatever reason (phone reboot, cable disconnect, switch
reboot, power outage, etc.)
