Oh, haven't seen anything like this, and not even any queries in log
that asks for "-1" priority  Any more docs on this?

I'm not very familiar with internal structure of device states,
however i think this is not so hard. Why would you need to keep a
registry, i think you should just do SELECT whenever any device state
changes, to find out what to update.

While on topic - may i ask for help.. For queues with dynamic members
(i.e. Local/200 at from-queue), if i would create something like this (in
realtime of course)

[from-queue]
exten=>200,hint,SIP/300
exten=>200,1,Dial(SIP/300)

Would this send update to queue of SIP/300 state? All the RINGING/INUSE?
