Summary:                    preferred_codec_only=yes disables the video stream
from caller to callee
Description: 
preferred_codec_only=yes in sip.conf causes one-directional video for video
calls. This looks like codec negotiation problem since when a codec is
selected in ast_codec_choose() only preferred codecs are considered. The
problem is that video codecs are never in the preferred list (h263 is
always missing from the peers' Codec Order) and therefore are never in the
peer capabilities after calling ast_codec_choose(). The caller always gets
200 OK with  m=video 0 RTP/AVP in the SDP.

I have managed to work around this by modifying ast_codec_choose() to look
for video codecs in the peer's capabilities and select it even though it is
not in the preferred codec list. However a better solution might be to
include video codecs in the Codec Order.
