Thanks, I just checked the trunk version and, in fact, I found the 
MEMBERINTERFACE (with no underscore) variable.

However, the app_queue.c module (from version 1.2.9.1 which I'm using) 
is quite different from the /trunk. Thus, at the moment, I'll try to get 
that info (although in an inefficient way) reading backward the 
queue_log. Then, when I'll migrate to the (stable) Asterisk version with 
the MEMBERINTERFACE variable available, I'll use tat variable it instead.

Do you have any idea in which version of Asterisk will be available the 
current /trunk version?
