Summary:                    Billsec is zero when playing a file in the Dial
function
Description: 
The Open Source 1.4 version of Asterisk will bill nothing, zero, if the
caller or callee hangs up before the file has finished playing, but will
record the duration of the call correctly, just the billsec amount is
wrong. It is very easy to duplicate. My dialplan is one line:
exten =>
_X.,1,Dial(Sip/${EXTEN}@XXX.XX.XX.XXX,25,CA(demo-instruct)L(1800000))

The file demo_instruct is part of asterisk's sounds and it is the longest
one. Just place a sip call and hangup a few seconds into the call. The CDR
will show zero  billsec, but duration will be 60+ seconds.

I consider this a bug.  If the called channel answers that call, that call
is billable.  Asterisk should be recording this in the CDR.
