I absolutely agree.  It's been a notable omission for some time.  
Unfortunately getting it written isn't the major part of the battle.  
Due to the license incompatibilities between SpanDSP and Asterisk, this 
work is almost guaranteed /not/ to make it into the base Asterisk souce. 
(from what I recall, the problem is that Steve won't sign the disclaimer 
Digium requires for work to make it in to Asterisk - and I hasten to add 
that I don't blame him, given that if he did, his GPL work would end up 
as part of a fully commercial version of Asterisk!)

Therefore, the /real/ battle is keeping the code maintained so that it 
will continue to work with Asterisk.
