> For example, the format Opus has an attribute module registered thanks to {{res/res_format_attr_opus.c}}. When Opus is negotiated in SIP/SDP, {{ast_format_parse_sdp_fmtp}} calls this module to parse the line {{fmtp}}. However, {{fmtp}} is optional for many formats including Opus. Therefore, the attribute module might not be called in all SIP/SDP negotiations correctly.
> Without a {{fmtp}}, default values are specified. These defaults describe the RTP payload which is brought to Asterisk for example by a VoIP/SIP client. Or stated differently: A VoIP client specifies its defaults to Asterisk. Asterisk negotiates between its internal defaults and the external {{fmtp}}. When a VoIP client does not send {{fmtp}} at all, the last sentence changes into: Asterisk negotiates between it’s internal defaults and the defaults of the RFC.
> However, the defaults of the RFC might not be the internal defaults of Asterisk. For example, some RFCs are backward compatible:
> * iLBC 20: Asterisk {{mode=20}} [RFC 3952|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3952#section-4.2] {{=30}}
> * AMR: Asterisk {{mode-change-capability=2}} [RFC 4867|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4867#section-8] {{=1}}
> * Opus: Asterisk {{useinbandfec=1}} [RFC 7587|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7587#section-6.1] {{=0}}
> Currently, I am not aware of any trick to determine whether a format was created because of external means (for example a VoIP client). Consequently, I am not able to apply defaults while doing {{format_get_joint}} or {{format_cmp}}, in case {{format_parse_sdp_fmtp}} was not called. Therefore, I am not able to negotiate correctly within SDP.
