You can use the AMI action DAHDIShowChannels to get the current
channel mapping.

There is an AMI event that you can look for:
Event: DAHDIChannel
Channel: name
Uniqueid: id
DAHDISpan: 5
DAHDIChannel: 23

It is generated whenever a call is assigned to a B channel or a call
moves to a different B channel.

There is also the CHANNEL() dialplan function:
CHANNEL(dahdi_channel)
CHANNEL(dahdi_span)
CHANNEL(dahdi_type)

The DAHDIChannel event and CHANNEL() function are mentioned in the
UPGRADE.txt file.
