Summary:                    Using state_interface and Local channels allows
several simultenous calls to be sent to agent
Description: 
I've seen this situation on 8-CPU 3GHz Xeon, that agent gets 4 queue calls
simultaneously. 

For now i've been able to avoid this by checking/setting group at
beginning of Local channel, setting call-limit=1 for SIP peers (only for
those who shouldn't receive more than 1 call simultaneously) and checking
group upon unsuccessful Dial from Local channel. Those 3 fixes together are
giving some good results for one most-problematic queue, however that's not
a permanent and stable solution. If queue is creating several channels at
the same time, on slower but multi-cored systems this could lead to race
condition between GROUP_COUNT and Set(GROUP()) in two parallel channels,
and call-limit=1 also can't always be set.

I'm not sure if this can be implemented in good way, but I think the most
appropriate solution for this would be that Queue is setting device state
of Local channel, and other queue(s) (if member is in multiple queues)
receives event from first queue's devicestate change.

My system is Asterisk 1.4.14 with backported state_interface from r103809

Hi atis

I have the same problem on a site where agent receives multiple calls from
queue while on call.

Has your fix helped reduce CPU load also?
