But, I did notice that ast_variables_destroy() calls free() instead of ast_free() even though ast_variable_new() calls allocates with ast_calloc().

I see what you mean, but there are also a lot of cases where we do not call ast_pbx_outgoign_app and still have these vars allocated, so there are still areas to fix, but in a more limited scope. I'll go throught it and put up a new diff for review.
