This is possibly more of linux-isdn@vger.kernel.org list thing,
than linux-kernel per se.

Quick reading of drivers/isdn/isdn_audio.c(*) shows that it does use
fixed-point Görtzel (Goertzel in english) algorithm for detecting
tones, but it does _not_ do comparison of received overall signal
power vs. detected DTMF tone powers.

When there is signal power outside the DTMF channels, signal should
not be detected. Also, DTMF tone powers should be roughly equal,
and exactly two tones should be present for valid detection.

Adding those power tests should be fairly trivial, but I leave it
to Somebody Else...

(*) kernel version I looked upon was 2.4.16-0.11custom -- some RH kernel
