Summary:                    serious problems in VAD and CNG support
Description: 
I know that CNG is in development state ... for a long time ago, but a bug
makes asterisk almost completly unuseable with a cisco voip router vad and
cng enabled.

1. At the beginning, sip and rtp connections are built correctly, but
somewhy the cisco router does not care about the rtp packets we send to it
(could be some protocol handleing error?) then after a while, the cisco
sends us a packet about now he stops sending rtp packets, we should
generate the confort noise ourselves. It that precise monent everything
normalises, and the other end can hear what we are telling.

2. But if we dial() an extension then, (within a few secounds) asterisk
seems to send an event to the cisco router ... something about confort
noise again, and it stops sending rtp packets. Then everthing goes wrong
again, and we can not be heared. BUT if the other side speaks (or makes
some noise), (makeing the other side send rtp packets, keeping the
asterisk's CNG off) asterisk starts sending the rtp packets again ... so
when the other side es knocking the microphone, they can hear us.

I am now back and looking at this issue. I'm going to be trying various
scenarios to see if I can reproduce and ultimately solve some of this. If
you can provide console output, dialplan logic, configuration, rtp debug,
anything, that will be most useful.
