The code appears to be error-free by my eyes, but I do have a suggestion, though.

I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to use the return value from ast_pbx_outgoing_exten and ast_pbx_outgoing_app in conjunction with the output parameter "res" to play a sound back to the channel running app_originate to indicate if the call was successful. Something like "Originate successful," "Originate failed. Channel was busy," or "Originate failed. Channel could not be requested."

My inspection of the code shows that even though the two function calls are made with the "sync" variable set to 0, ast_pbx_outgoing_exten and ast_pbx_outgoing_app will only return once the channel specified as the first parameter for Originate() has either answered or is determined to be busy or something.

Feel free to reject this idea entirely or modify it in some way, but it seems like right now there's no way for someone originating a call in this manner to know if the originate actually succeeded or not.
