In Asterisk 1.2, the billsec CDR variable is not calculated until the
CDR is being posted.  However, this has been changed in the trunk so
that it is calculated when the CDR is ended using the ast_cdr_end() API
call.  This lets you access the value in the 'h' extension in the dialplan.

Since you're doing this inside of an application, you can calculate the
value yourself.  Call ast_cdr_end() to end to CDR, then take the
difference between the CDR end time and the CDR answer time.
