This probably starts getting -user'ish..

I'm working on this for last month already - how do you get Local
channel to get state INUSE? All i got - that it's in state RINGING
when it executes Dial(). Otherwise - NOT_INUSE.

I even added status field to realtime members, and i'm updating it
trough func_realtime from dialplan - that's the only way how i could
track the status of dynamic realtime members.
