Summary:                    [patch] fxo modules incorrectly believes channel is
answered, if telco reverses line polarity at off hook.
Description: 
With answeronpolarityswitch=yes in chan_dahdi.conf
In our setup channels 63-65 in attached chan_dahdi.conf

When fxo modules are connected to analog lines that reverse polarity when
the line is picked up, the fxo driver (wcdtm) sends a polarity reversal
event, causing the channel to be answered, which is incorrect, as the call
is yet to be dialled.

The caller hears a very short ring, then silence for a while as the call
is set up, then finally remote ringing. This is very off putting for the
unaware user.

The attached patch chan_dahdi.diff.txt patch, sets the polaritydelaytv at
call setup, then uses the same sytle of checking mechnism as is used for
hanguponpolarityswitch=yes.

The DAHDI_EVENT_POLARITY in dahdi_handle_event has been reworked, from
using IF/ELSE statements with multiple OR's to easier to read SWITCH
statements.

Has been on a production box for nearly a month with around 100 calls out
of the fxo channels a day, with clean sounding ringing, with audio passed
as soon as the called party answers.
