             Summary: Bridge API Enhancements - work through a channel being removed from a bridge by an external party
                 Key: ASTERISK-21646
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-21646
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core/Bridging, Core/ManagerInterface, Core/Stasis
            Reporter: Matt Jordan


There are times when a channel has to be owned by a third party and that third party does not want to put that channel back into another bridge or transfer it to a dialplan location. Examples include:

* The mythical usage of the infinite wait bridge in {{app_queue}}
* Stasis-HTTP need to be able to remove a channel from a bridge and own the channel

There are a few other problems here:

* If an external entity owns a channel, how do we prevent another third party from stealing it?
* What does it mean for an external entity to own a channel? Something has to continue to service the channel. Is that autoservice, or a 'quiet' infinite wait bridge?
