Summary:                    [patch] Set(SIP_CODEC=xxxx) only applies to first
inbound leg of call
Description: 
We have had a long standing requirement to be able to force the use of g711
codec based on dialled number, eg known modem destinations etc.
We still need to use g729 by default for voice calls.

The obvious choice is to Set(SIP_CODEC=alaw) prior to Dial()

However, SIP_CODEC only ever forced the inbound (first) leg of the call to
use alaw. If the outbound leg codec priority was 1st G729 2nd alaw, then
g729 was always used.

Attached is a very simple patch against 1.4.14 that solves our problem. It
works for both reinvited and non reinvited media.
Due to the patch only being 2 lines of additional code, it would be easy
to apply to later versions of Asterisk

It's now running in a production environment, but I would really like some
feedback from other users.

  Add support for changing the outbound codec on a SIP call using
  a dialplan variable.

  This adds a dialplan variable (SIP_CODEC_OUTBOUND) which controls
  the codec offered for an outgoing SIP call. This is much like the
  SIP_CODEC dialplan variable and has the same restrictions. The codec
  set must be one that is configured for the call.
