Summary:                    [patch] Presence subscription on Cisco SIP phone
needs special Cisco-styled XML
Description: 
Cisco phones appear to be unable to parse the existing PIDF XML being
generated by Asterisk for presence notification.  I've attached a patch
which produces well-formed (but incomplete) XML which will satisfy a Cisco
phone.  The patch as supplied will successfully render a "busy"
subscription, but does not send a subsequent "available" notification, so
presence detection only half works currently.

I suspect the next step might be to watch some CallManager SIP traffic to
identify precisely what XML tags the phone is expecting in order to
properly parse an available subscription, but I'm not in a position to do
that.  I'll continue to work with this, though, and perhaps may be able to
stumble upon the precise data the Cisco phone is looking for.

chan_sip.c_available_on-the-phone.patch

This is a patch which enables on-the-phone and available signaling.
Ringing is implemented but does not work.

I have tested this on a Cisco 7965

Someone with a C skill should look about the patch ;-). The patch is based
on the chan_sip.c.patch created on 2008-11-30 15:14.

BTW: License PENDING (v3.0) meens, someone is checking for any license
violations?
