These are more in the "telephony" concepts subdomain, and are really different ways to destroy a channel. I'd prefer to not have them at all, honestly - the fact that you are disposing of a channel is all you should really care about through the API. Playing a particular tone when that occurs feels more like an optional detail, and not a true separate operation. But I'd hate to have a proliferation of similar concepts as separate operations when they make more sense grouped together.
