Description:With

char *options;

options = pbx_builtin_getvar_helper(chan,"UNIQUEID");

options is NULL but chan->uniqueid is not NULL

if "UNIQUEID" is replaced with "CONSOLE" (defined in extensions.conf) the the result is correct (ie Console/dsp)

Jan  4 21:58:10 NOTICE[163861]: File app_cepstral.c, Line 114 (cepstral_exec): pbx_builtin_getvar_helper for UNIQUEID returned (null) it should have returned 1073249884.0

This may be due to UNIQUEID not being global?!?  Not sure but CONSOLE is.

UNIQUEID and most of the other variables listed in README.variables are not real channel variables.  They are simply substitued when the pbx_substitue_variables_* calls are made, which is mostly just from extensions.conf

Changed to a feature request.

Not a proper fix.

strncpy(ltmp,"",sizeof(ltmp)-1);
     pbx_substitute_variables_helper(c,"${UNIQUEID}",ltmp, sizeof(ltmp)-1);
     ast_log(LOG_NOTICE,"Grabbed uniqueid %s\n",ltmp);

Works...
