I would consider this a bug. getChannelByName() should return the newest
channel matching the given name. The fix for this would also require
updating the javadoc to clearly define what is actually returned.

Indeed. Though the real fix would be to provide some patches for
Asterisk to include the uniqueId in these events which should be a
one-liner. Nevertheless this would not solve our problem as we have to
take older versions of Asterisk into account.

This could also be resolved by checking for null and an isActive()
method on AsteriskChannel (not sure if its already implemented).

Would you like to submit a patch for this issue?

Thanks,
