--------------------------------------------

A new field to the channel technology should be able to indicate if any of their channels should be visible.

> There are a number of channels that should never be conveyed over AMI. These channels have meaning only inside Asterisk and the usage of a channel to perform that action is merely an implementation detail. If an external system attempted to manipulate that channel, "bad things" would inevitably occur.
> To date, those channels are:
>  * CBAnn - the confbridge announcer channel
>  * CBRec - the confbridge recorder channel
> It is expected, however, that other channels will be added to this list. A generic function should be added to AMI channels and bridges that excludes events in relation to those channels. Thus, AMI clients should not see any message pertaining to that channel, regardless of the topic that message is published on.
