Good point.  I fixed latest release to linger on the socket until you get
the channel_hangup
event providing you did "myevents"

events are not connected to channels at all the events are in their own
backend. and each
event_socket connection has a dedicated thread and it's own copy of all the
events.

The regular heartbeat event is for the whole system in case you are managing
a connection
to several boxes or you want to be sure the box is up.

There is a per call heartbeat you can enable at a desired interval for calls
with media
flowing through FS.
