Like Kevin said, this is channel dependent.  I think Russell already 
mentioned the "idle channel" watcher threads in chan_iax2 and chan_sip. 
  The closest thing to actually what it probably is talking about might 
be the do_monitor thread in chan_zap that actually has idle zap 
channels to watch for events and such.  That is probably the best place 
to learn more about what it is referring to.
