Summary:                    Channel variables apparently not available as
application arguments in features.conf application map
Description: 
It'd be great if the below worked in features.conf so that users could
punch a feature code to have a message logged with the channel and time so
issues could be debugged:

[applicationmap]
audioissuelog => 333,self/both,Log(NOTICE,Audio issue reported by
${CHANNEL} at ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%F %T) !!)

I'd expect something like

[Jan  7 14:49:42] NOTICE[4290] Ext. 35: Audio issue reported by
SIP/polycom-00000010 at 2011-01-07 14:49:42 !!

to be put in the log (which is what happens when I run the same command
from the dialplan instead of features.conf), but what I actually see is

[Jan  7 14:25:04] NOTICE[2581] Ext. 53: Audio issue reported by ${CHANNEL}
at ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%F %T) !!

Apparently channel variables aren't interpreted when the application is
called from features.conf's [applicationmap].

This is true regardless of which application I call. I also tried with
Playback, with Set(AudioFile=tt-monkeys) in the dialplan and playbacktest
=> 444,self/both,Playback(${AudioFile}) in the [applicationmap] of
features.conf, and the console told me

[Jan  7 14:54:11] WARNING[4679]: file.c:650 ast_openstream_full: File
${AudioFile} does not exist in any format
[Jan  7 14:54:11] WARNING[4679]: file.c:956 ast_streamfile: Unable to open
${AudioFile} (format 0x4 (ulaw)): No such file or directory
[Jan  7 14:54:11] WARNING[4679]: app_playback.c:476 playback_exec:
ast_streamfile failed on SIP/xlite4-00000014 for ${AudioFile}

Calling Playback(${AudioFile}) from the dialplan worked as expected.

What would it take to make channel variables accessible from
features.conf's [applicationmap]?
