Seems like a significant regression in spitting things out to channel variables, instead of using dialplan functions to retrieve values when needed.

${MIXMONITOR(${ID},file)} but sure.

Thus, the MixMonitor application should not have any assumptions that the channel has only a single MixMonitor being run on it. Setting a single MIXMONITOR_FILENAME channel variable violates such assumptions by overwriting the value set from previous invocations of MixMonitor. By using the 'f' and 'i' options for MixMonitor, a user can easily manage multiple recordings on a single channel.
