You could just not wait for the close-ok :) That would be quite hard in 
most AMQP client libraries, but perhaps it's possible in librabbitmq.

Also, if you are intending to close the connection too, then *just* do 
that, rather than closing all the channels first. It's semantically 
equivalent(ish).

And in that case, if you really don't care about the various guarantees 
provided by the handshake, you could simply close the socket instead, 
i.e. don't bother with any of the closing handshake. That is not really 
recommended though.

Yes.
