Sounds like a candidate for a billing-status event
package.  Use SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY to commutate
the billing aspects related to a given dialog/session.

If the desire is to "release" a session but maintain 
a sip dialog, sending re-INVITE's containing deleted 
(or maybe inactive) media would also be required.
