When using the "x" option (specify a DTMF digit to exit the application), it is
not obvious in the documentation that this only works when spying on a channel.
If a channel being used to spy on other channels is waiting to connect to a
channel or is no longer attached to a channel, the DTMF is ignored.
As noted on the issue tracker, since there are workarounds available and this is
a rarely used option we are opting for a documentation change here.
