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...

biohumanoid, also, analog cards can be, and are a source of timing, but I
think the issue with fitting them into this model is that they don't have
timing configured relative to the other spans in the configuration files
currently without adding new parameters. 

Using your system and the current configs, how would you configure dahdi
to prefer an analog card over the internal oscillator on a span that is
configured to provide timing to its far side?
