What I currently do is this:

1. caller calls in
2. FS calls my deamon via socket app (async full)
3. Deamon connects the call via ESLconnection
4. executing answer
5. executing playback
6. subscribing to all events
7. originate b-leg via bgapi
9. waiting for events (this is a loop using esl->recvEventsTimed(1000))
9.1 replaying caller's playback
9.2 checking for caller's Hangup
9.3 checking for esl->connected=false
9.4 checking for b-leg's result (Answer or deny)
9.4.1 bridge both legs
9.4.2 release esl-socket
9.4.3 done


When caller hangs up somewhere after step 7 I got sometimes a HANGUP
event but more often nothing. Trying to write into the esl->socket then
seems to block until originate has finished.

I guess FS has torn down the socket half way or so in this state.
