Hello, We are observing a weird behavior with asterisk, ARI and recordings. It seems that is I start a record on a bridge that contains two channels, and a channel leave the bridge (I remove it via ARI), the record stops. Anyone aware of this? why? can we prevent this from happening? (i will put a new channel on the bridge later, record should continue). Some console output to try clarify : ```auto [16:02:38] == Using SIP RTP Audio TOS bits 184 [16:02:38] == Using SIP RTP Audio TOS bits 184 in TCLASS field.

Maybe add a dummy place holder channel that does nothing but keep the bridge from, hmm, _collapsing_ ? Let it handle the MOH when needed ? ---
