Summary:                    Missing CDR's for Transfers
Description: 
At the moment there is one CDR generated per generic bridge. This tends not
to create any problems when the bridge has been created by something like:

SIP User -> Asterisk -> PSTN

The CDR generated will have the PSTN number as the destination and the SIP
User's accountcode.

When a transfer is undertaken the one CDR per generic bridge approach
breaks down. An example call flow for a blind transfer is:

SIP User -> Asterisk -> PSTN
PSTN <- Asterisk -> PSTN (this is after the user has blind transferred the
first call to a second PSTN number)

At the moment Asterisk will correctly generate a CDR for the first call
leg but for the second call leg there is a problem. For the sconed call leg
both ends of the bridge are now billable but as Asterisk only generates a
single CDR per bridge one of the legs will not get billed. 

A straight forward fix (at least architecturally) would be to generate a
CDR for each end of the bridge instead of combining both ends into a single
CDR. It would mean some extra CDR's for the standard SIP User -> PSTN call
but it's a lot easier to filter out CDR's to ignore than it is to try and
work out how to handle ones that are missing.

I've classified this as major since it's costing me (and other providers)
money every time a user does a transfer :).
