[asterisk-dev] The New CDR system

I'm a bit afraid to overload the iax protocol, imho some simple XML 
thing might be better ?
I feel like the servers already have to process enough information on 
the 4569 port.

(although it might be usefull for some people of course - softphones 
could for example get AOC like this.)

Zoa,
