> This may help call centers and phone system administrators who are compiling analytic information based on call hold times or need events based notification of a call being placed on hold.
> I liked the idea of querying CEL database sources for hold time information.  In my workplace too many people hog phone calls and it's difficult to find a diplomatic solution that doesn't involve restricting call count.
> On top of that I will be using ImportVar to check for the absence of a HOLDING channel variable for tagged channels in a list.  Doing so allows me to automate through generic user interfaces and AMI hooks actions to be done on an active conversation - transfers, spying, and using ChanSPY and Playback for automated audio delivery.  The goal here is to select the currently active call.
> Using channel->moh_state might not work for what I want or be as predictable as I need it to be and it requires res_musiconhold to boot.
> I'd prefer to write a helper function to query the channel var without using ImportVar but I wanted to get feedback first.
> Also.. there is a potential problem with res_musiconhold where if there was a problem with initializing music on hold an event isn't passed to AMI, however when a call is removed from hold an event is sent regardless.
