Body is null on every event that does not use headers to output information. A good example would be console logs. I haven't seen too many default events besides log that have body besides a application custom events.
I'm not too sure about using ESL in C, I have used it pretty much
exclusively in perl.

You can get the list of the channels via "show channels" or bridged
calls with "show calls"
From there you have the UUID's you can call uuid_dump on them to get
all the variables.

All ESL does is output events to socket and expose the API commands. It
does not maintain any kind of list of calls or anything like that so it
is up to you to maintain that yourself if you don't want to parse API
output every time.
You could do this or setup a listener to get the events as they happen
and keep the info you need.

http://docs.freeswitch.org/ (this should help, its under files list
see esl.h)
I need to work a little bit more on that documentation as well.. I saw a few conflicts with the core documentation too. Will get there once I have some more time left.

I just find it interesting you're doing this with C.
