The best off-the-shelf solution I've seen for this comes from Paraxip in the form of their NetBorder CPA (Call Progress Analysis) product. They use a B2BUA that you can send calls through out of Asterisk, and which will return a certain code as a custom SIP header depending on the disposition.
"The best" still isn't saying much. You're going to get many of the same problems as you get with AMD. The marginal improved accuracy may or may not be worth the cost. That's just how it is. This is impossible to do right in a way that is applicable to the variance of environmental and acoustic situations - as you mention, works with one carrier and not with another, and other variables. Most likely, developing such a thing would be a pointless waste of time and energy because to get beyond a certain rate of accuracy is to ask for a perpetual motion machine. Just my $.02, of course.
