Okay, so lets ignore the limitation today for early media.   And say
we only care about bi-directional audio when the far end answers.  We
can then add in features once we get the basic working.

So ARI dial would be as above.

Answer incoming channel
Start originate
on answer create bridge
move caller A and B into bridge.

Everybody agrees?
