The 's' option turns on device state querying for ChanIsAvail. The state 
tells you if the remote side is not available, in use, not in use, etc. 
If the state is not available then you can't call them. One of the 
reasons is they are not registered.

Yes. It means that chan_sip is capable of setting up the call. If it is 
blank then that is not possible and one of the reasons would be they are 
unregistered.
