AMI action Redirect -

Of course you would need some script to send this action, but as long
as you control writes to database it shouldn't be a problem. All you
need is to store ${CHANNEL} name of current channel before entering
MusicOnHold().

Also you could take a look at GROUP_COUNT function, perhaps it in some
way can help you :)
