Regarding the "Originate/Channel Creation as a two step proces" thread: >> Another option would be to allow the user to specify the unique id of the >> channel.

I've had a similar worry with PlaybackStopped. In that case I wored around the race condition by doing a GET on the playbackID as soon as I get one back, and then treating a failed GET as a stopped playback. This is all another reason I hate having requests and events going through different pipes. If I could send the request down the websocket, and asterisk promised to give me the channel id response on the websocket before sending me any events about it, there'd be no race condition. But I guess that ship has sailed.
