[VoiceOps] Signaling hold to the PSTN

[Justin B Newman]

Food for thought.

I think there's a reasonable argument that the whole magic of the PSTN
is the interoperability it's had for decades. This interoperability
comes from each switch connecting to it cleaning up whatever messes
have been created in userland before handing off a clean signal and
audio stream to the rest of the PSTN. I think perhaps model that
doesn't does this is a model designed for the Internet, not the PSTN.
