Summary:                    [patch] adding ss7 pcap support to dahdi
Description: 
as per the thread on the libss7 mailing list

1. changes to the dahdi driver to add ioctls to mirror reads/writes
from a signaling channel to a pseudo channel
2. a corresponding user app to set up the mirroring and record the
traffic in a pcap

This seems to work though I'm not sure if it's the best solution
design-wise.
I might be abusing the pseudo channel concept.

to compile the app do the following
gcc dahdi_pcap.c -o dahdi_pcap -lpcap

and the syntax to run it is
./dahdi_pcap chan1  [chan2]* pcap.pcap

e.g.
./dahdi_pcap 16 47 test.pcap

tsearle:  I stand corrected.  I see how DAHDI_SETCONF only works for
channels in audio mode currently (on line 4846 of
http://svn.asterisk.org/view/dahdi/linux/trunk/drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.c?revision=9423&view=markup)


What about adding a flag (like DAHDI_CONF_PSEUDO_LISTENER etc..) to bypass
that check?   That way we could still use the existing monitoring
apparatus?  It could be DAHDI_CONF_NONAUDIOCHANNELS (or something...)
