Really?  xml_cdr sounds (and looks from its config file) to me like it records 
CDRs, which are a summary of call legs, durations, billing, etc.

I'm looking for something which tells me, when a call comes in and gets 
processed, which parts of the dialplan are doing the processing, so I can 
correct my errors by spotting where it goes wrong.

Asterisk logs will show me each line of each context which a call gets 
processed through, so I can tell "ah!  that should not go there - it should go 
here instead".

What's the equivalent for FreeSwitch - or alternatively, how does anyone else 
debug their dialplans?

That seems to be *extraordinarily* verbose - it's telling me *everything* 
FreeSwitch is thinking about.

I'm just trying to follow the processing of a call through the dialplan.

It is also possible that putting the birds in a laboratory setting 
inadvertently renders them relatively incompetent.
