IAX2 does not use RTP. Asterisk is always a User Agent. SIP and H.323
channels using RTP will always start out with RTP flowing through the
Asterisk box, and based on my understanding of H.323, it is not possible
to redirect the RTP media to a different endpoint once the channel is setup.

In summary, while Asterisk is in a lot of ways 'like a softswitch', it
is not a softswitch.
