No, there haven't.  The main problem, I think, is that all messages
are written to the remote client with ast_careful_write, which
specifies a timeout and does not retry.  What probably needs to be
done is to create a new thread for each client (not each message,
as another poster suggested), which continually retries an output
buffer.

In addition, we should probably write it as a double buffer:  the
first for messages to be sent immediately, and the second for
messages that are sent while ->blocking is set (which is set during
all responses to an Action).  Currently, any event which is attempted
during a Response is simply dropped on the floor, instead of being
retried.
