It's the index into the channel's array of file descriptors. So if 
"which" is 3, then
channel->fds[3] would be set to the fd you pass in as the "fd" parameter.

No. It just means a channel is limited to polling 20 file descriptors. 
This has nothing to do with the file descriptors' values.

It shouldn't matter what fd values you use. In most Asterisk channels, 
the channel fds are socket fds over which signaling pertaining to the 
channel may occur. So with SIP, you'll usually have the SIP socket fd 
and RTP and RTCP fds for media.
