Summary:                    Unable to create channel for non registered SIP
devices
Description: 
I am using Asterisk 1.6.1.4 with FreePBX 2.6. However I have seen this same
issue when testing Asterisk 1.6.2.2. When calling a user with multiple
devices, a ring group, etc I get the following warning for every SIP device
that is not registered.

WARNING[5287] app_dial.c: Unable to create channel of type 'SIP' (cause 20
- Unknown)

If the device is not registered why fill the logs with this message? Or at
least make the message say that the device is not registered. 

I have a softphone SIP device for every user and a main line ring group
that includes all the users. When the main line rings my log fills with a
hundred of these messages. When a user is called that doesn't have the
softphone open I get this message as well.

The message is accurate. If you don't want to see those WARNING messages,
then don't call devices that are not available.
