Summary:                    [patch] 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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The patch goes only half way, I mean, it is not enough. It records the
moment when the callee picks up the phone, and that is wonderful, but if
the caller, the originator, drops the call, the call continues on for the
callee, even if the caller is long several minutes ago. If the callee drops
the call, then the call correctly stops and gets billed.
The correct way to solve this is to stop the call if either leg sends BYE,
and stop the billing right there. If you need to see an live example please
