It sounds very good!

Thank you very much, Arnaldo, for that info!

I try to wrote some Asterisk apps (and also slightly change behaviour of 
chan_sip) to siut my needs, but it was the pain. I'm not a real 
programmer, better to say script writer from compulsion, and from my 
point of view chan_sip, logger and cdr... change between versions so 
dramatically that I resign to do it cleanly and ended up with mentioned 
workaround - call routing I do thru AGI only without assistance of 
Asterisk dialplan and call logging is done thru CDR manager...

I know nerly nothing about python (except some chnges to mediaproxy I 
need to do by myself), but I'm open to all new things and learn quickly :-)
I will look at it, thank you!

I do what I can, but I'm affraid I need to spend some time to understand 
Freeswitch before I deploy exectly what I need.
But, after all work will be done, I try to share as much info as I can..

Thanks again, Arnaldo, for notable help!
