Summary:                    SIP channel protocol illegally reverses direction
when ringing channel AMI redirected (to parked channel)
Description: 
An outgoing call to a SIP channel was initiated using AMI Originate; the
first channel was a Local/ channel.  Whilst the call was still ringing, the
Local channel was AMI Redirected to a parked channel in the parking lot
(and drops out of the configuration).  A short time later, the call fails
within Asterisk, with the following diagnostics:

t.

The destination phone continues to ring for some time after this.

If the call is answered before the Redirect, there is no problem.

Looking at the SIP traces indicates that Asterisk starts sending OK's (for
NOTIFY) in the same direction as it sent the NOTIFY's for the call setup. 
The called end ignores these.  If it answers after Asterisk has abandoned
it, it Asterisk ignores its OK's, in the correct direction, resulting in
the phone timing out before it considers the call dead.

Although it is not a particularly important configuration for us, we tried
it with IAX as the destination.  It appeared to work with the exception
that there was no ring back tone after the transfer (the IAX phone
continued to ring and the phone that started parked did not clear).  The
speech path established when the IAX was eventually answered.

The IAX channel showed an up state, whilst it was still ringing:

          State: Up (6)
          Rings: 0

I'll attach the fully version of that channel state.
