Neither do I :-) Asterisk is a stateful *ahem* softswitch/proxy, that
always generates a BYE. It communicates directly with whatever it
connects to, unless you redirect of course. I wouldn't use Asterisk for
this purpose of course for many reasons either, I was just making a
point :-)

Mediaproxy suffers the same problem, just put the call on hold 
(otherwise it would be idle and terminate after 60 seconds) and pull the

plug, i'm not sure if the same goes for asterisk, but I don't like the 
idea of having 2 or 3 programs in my path.

Kind regards,
