That works in theory, but still doesn't solve the case for network  
failure of the end user when the end user was put on hold by an  
upstream party.  The carrier has no way to know the call ended (until  
the call is taken off hold upstream) as they aren't expecting any  
audio to be passed and we haven't sent a proper bye.

I think Ovidiu has the right solution, we'll see how we can implement  
this.

Thanks
