The only additional data I would want would be the PIDs and process names of 
any external processes associated with the channel...  say mpg123 for MOH, 
for example.  That way if I wanted to directly manipulate the external 
process (say sending signals to select previous/next song, for example), I 
could do so without any screwing around.
