Sorry for late reply.  Yes, if you can get someone to code for this, 
it would be a pretty cool extension.  Just getting normal RTCP in 
there would be a plus: many hardphones support RTCP (Cisco, 
Budgetone, Sipura, etc.) and getting some useful data back on each 
call would be a huge bonus for service providers who need to examine 
call quality across uncontrolled network segments.

Having that stuff in the CDR (or some small subset of it) or in a 
separate CQDR (call quality detail record) would allow for some very 
fancy metrics collections.
