Summary:                    [patch] channel-specific hangupcauses
Description: 
Hi,
regarding the discussion on asterisk-user
(http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2009-January/224721.html)
I want to suggest a solution for this problem.

At the moment, channels store their general asterisk hangupcause in the
channel which is hung up. Let's store some more channel-specific data about
the cause in there, too. The connected channel could then get the
information from the channel and make it available to the dialplan and it's
own hangup-routine.

My implementation uses two channel-variables to store the cause:
HANGUP_TECH and *_CAUSE, where *_CAUSE is compounded of the value of
HANGUP_TECH + '_CAUSE'. E.g. HANGUP_TECH=SIP, SIP_CAUSE=404 not found.

Currently app_dial takes care of propagating the hangupcause. In the case
of multiple channels with different causes, it chooses one of them using a
priority-scheme. This mechanism is enhanced by handling the HANGUP_TECH +
*_CAUSE variables to achieve that these are passed to the calling channel.

Please find my implementation attached as a patch. It's still proof of
concept but seems to work ;-)
