[Asterisk-Dev] Module unloading

[Michael Sandee]

Hi Paul,

I am not sure what you are trying to say here... I think it is quite a 
funny post at it...

1) Asterisk 1.2 could be years away... planned fixes don't fix my problem.
2) You can fix it at Asterisk's core... you think... but this might 
(will) break modules, and you get a *lot* higher chance of lockups. I 
think it is why it isn't implemented yet. Which is ok...
3) I offered a perfectly good sollution which *exists*. 
(res_musiconhold.so uses it)
4) I wasn't going to argue about Asterisk not doing what it is supposed 
to do...(Unload modules at exit)... I just want to say ... fix the 
comments so module coders don't get tricked into the same thing.

Several people actually already told me they had it wrong in their 
modules, apart from me... so that means something is wrong.
