Summary:                    Annoying "Unknown RTP codec 126 received" messages
confuse people
Description: 
The X-Lite Softphone, one of the most commonly used softphones on Asterisk,
sends RTP codec 126 messages, which annoy and confuse users who are running
with verbosity set to 3, the most likely verbosity setting for watching a
system in operation.

I propose:

a. modifying main/rtp.c to test VERBOSITY_ATLEAST(4) prior to the call to
ast_log(LOG_NOTICE, "Unknown RTP codec %d received from...",...)

b. (and/or possibly) explicitly ignoring 126 no matter what the
verbosity.

I will generate a patch in the next two or three days; in the interim I
welcome any comments.

I also note that in trunk rtp.c has been replaced by rtp_engine.c; I have
not yet determined whether a similar issue exists.  Comments?

Regards/john

I just wanted to crosslink this to a topic in the CounterPath forum.

http://forums.counterpath.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12552&p=55108#p55108

That topic links back to here as well.  And I will follow up with
CounterPath if possible to actually get this fixed; it is putting hundreds
of messages an hour into the messages log file (and yes, that could be
disabled too, but we don't want to disable notices in case something really
important happens).

Feel free to close it again.
