isn't it already in there?

if you're using cdr_csv.so, the following information is recorded:

accountcode, source, destination, destination context, callerid,
channel, destination channel, last application, last app argument, start
time, answer time, end time, duration, billable seconds, disposition,
amaflags, uniqueid, userfield

so what you want is "answer time".

if using SQL-based CDRs, you'll have to do some calculations to get to
the time the call was answered/connected:

calldate + (duration - billsec)
