I don't understand this part. Those channels don't have a extended name,
they are always NULL. Those are added as part of this patch as well, but the
patch description makes it sound like it is a fix for a existing issue.

We can't really do that, that would break existing applications. And to be
honest I don't think regular channels should have a extended name.
