That is not 100% true. Please take a look at https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=14709
So I basically have problem with chan_local actually translating control frames (HOLD) into audio (MoH).

At the same time, I also understand where such a translation could be useful - I have web UI to bring more people to MeetMe conference using Originate command and it would be best to put first leg of Originate into the meetme conference (so answered instantly) while second leg will be some remote phone so everybody in the conference would hear the ringing/early media. I  do not know good solution to this.

Probably local channel needs some flag telling it whether should it translate ALL control frames into audible indications or should it translate NONE. At the moment the behavior is somewhat inconsistent.

Can you elaborate a bit on the situation you're talking about?  What is 
on each side of the Local channel?  What problem exactly are you trying 
to solve?

As Mark discussed in a previous reply, the idea is that chan_local is 
supposed to just be a pipe.  Indications and the like are just passed 
through to let the "real" ends decide how they should be handled.
