Summary:                    app_fax doesn't receive fax with T.38
Description: 
When I try to receive a fax from a provider that supports T.38 using
ReceiveFAX() provided by app_fax.so, the fax transmission ends prematurely
with an error.

What happens (according to Kevin Fleming) is this:

"In this call, Asterisk sent a re-INVITE to T.38 mode
from audio mode, the provider accepted it, and then Asterisk
acknowledged it. Immediately afterwards, Asterisk sent a re-INVITE
*back* to audio mode, which the provider accepted (and included T.38
capabilities in their response). Because of this, the FAX reception
process failed since the T.38 session was destroyed."

Good to know! I always tought the config on sip.conf would make the SDP
negotiation use those values.

I got a full debug on app_fax and it seems to me that the transmission
starts at 9600bps as expected but for some reason it falls back to 7200bps,
4800bps and finally to 2400bps where the transmission finally occurs.

Posted the log as app_fax_debug.txt.gz
