Summary:                    ChanIsAvail() always returns 0 (Unknown)
Description: 
I am trying to determine whether or not a DAHDI channel is on or off the
hook. But no matter what I do it always returns unknown or zero for the
value. I'm running Asterisk 1.6.0.9. In the CLI I can see that the phone is
off or on the hook by doing a dahdi show channel 1.

Here is part of my extensions.conf

exten => s,1,ChanIsAvail(SIP/server&DAHDI/1)
exten => s,n,Read(${AVAILCHAN})
exten => s,n,Set(NEWVAR=${CUT(AVAILCHAN,/,1)})
exten => s,n,GoToIf($["${NewVar}"="DAHDI"]?dahdi
exten => s,n,GoToIf($["${NewVar}"=""]?down
exten => s,n(dahdi),NoOp(My phone state is currently
${DEVICE_STATE(DAHDI/1)})
exten => s,n,Noop(${AVAILSTATUS})
exten => s,n,Dial(DAHDI/1/${MACRO_EXTEN:1})
exten => s,n,Hangup()

Here is what the CLI shows.
Executing [s at macro-test:1] ChanIsAvail("SIP/2190-240bad10",
"SIP/server&DAHDI/1") in new stack
