No. I once tried to create a channel variable during hangup. Then, in 
the hangup extension this variable was added to the user defined CDR 
field. This generally works, but only if the call leg hangs up, on which 
the AOC is received. In other cases (e.g. sip to zap calls) when the SIP 
user hangs up, I had to fetch the last AOC-D value from the bridged 
channel, which does not work well. There should be a generic method in 
Asterisk for storing/retrieving AOC, thus I stoped my work.
