asterisk users - Mar 2011 - [1.4] Asterisk doesn't hang up?

Hello

	I'm trying to use ChanIsAvail() to check when the landline is back
to idle after a call, but for some reason, Asterisk doesn't detect
that the callee has hung up after listening to MoH for a few seconds:

========== extensions.conf
;Play MoH for a few seconds, hang up, and
;check ChanIsAvail() able to detect when line idle again
exten => 8888,1,Answer()
exten => 8888,n,Playback(/var/tmp/manolo_camp-morning_coffee)
exten => 8888,n,Hangup

========== CLI
;keep line engaged for a few seconds, and hang up from remote end

originate Zap/1/5551234 extension 8888 at internal

========== extensions.conf
;call from XLite to check line status

;Loop until Zap/1 is available
exten => 1111,1,Set(INDEX=0)
exten => 1111,n,While(1)
exten => 1111,n,ChanIsAvail(Zap/1)
exten => 1111,n,GotoIf($["${AVAILORIGCHAN}" != "" |
${INDEX} >
10]?exit)
exten => 1111,n,Wait(5)
exten => 1111,n,Set(INDEX=$[${INDEX} + 1])
exten => 1111,n,EndWhile()

;how did we exit loop?
exten => 1111,n(exit),GotoIf($["${AVAILORIGCHAN}" =
""]?na:ok)
exten => 1111,n(na),NoOp(Channel still N.A.)
exten => 1111,n,Goto(end)
exten => 1111,n(ok),NoOp(Channel OK)
exten => 1111,n(end),Hangup
========== 

Even after callee at 5551234 hangs up, Asterisk keeps looping in
extension 1111, and only runs 8888's Hangup after 1111 runs Hangup.

I also tried calling out through a callfile, same result.

Is there another instruction I should use in 8888 to have
Asterisk/Zaptel close the channel after the remote end has hung up?

Thank you.

It looks like neither Playback() nor Background() check for hangup and
will simply play the file all the way to the end, so I simply replaced
the long MoH with a short beep:

=========exten => 8888,1,Wait(2)
exten => 8888,n,Answer()

;exten => 8888,n,Playback(/var/tmp/manolo_camp-morning_coffee)
;exten => 8888,n,Read(key,/var/tmp/manolo_camp-morning_coffee,1,,10,2)

;exten => 8888,n,Background(/var/tmp/manolo_camp-morning_coffee)
exten => 8888,n,Background(beep)

exten => 8888,n,WaitExten(10)
exten => 8888,n,Hangup
=========
HTH,

Is this an analog line?  If so, is your CO providing a disconnect tone?

Hi There,

i have the same problem but it doesnt always happen tho from the same
caller. 

im using Asterisk 1.4 - maybe newer version updates have
had bug fixes. maybe this could rectify it. 

Regards,

For those trying to do the same thing: Zaptel/Dahdi does detect that
the remote party has hung up when using "busydetect=yes" in
zapata.conf/chan_dahdi.conf.
