Cool.  :-)

That is correct.  It will be available in Asterisk 1.10 in Q4 of this
year.  The next LTS (based on our current long term release plans) would
be Asterisk 1.14 in Q4 of 2013.

Trunk has diverged _SIGNIFICANTLY_ from Asterisk 1.8 in some very
fundamental ways.  In my opinion, it would be much more effort and you
would take on much more risk trying to backport any code that deals with
media from trunk to 1.8 than to just use Asterisk 1.10.
