I wonder how one would contrive a test to see that the stream is in fact 
being encrypted.

I built two copies of CVS-HEAD, verified that the encryption stuff is 
there, and then enabled it on an IAX-to-IAX channel I use here in my lab.

I then fired up Ethereal to see what I could see.

The traces look pretty much identical; e.g. I could see the full frames, 
DTMF digits, etc., in each.  Turning on iax debugging didn't indicate 
anything unusual on either side, nor did I find anything in the messages 
log.

I'm prolly showing my ignorance here, but would like to move beyond, 
"OK; I set "encryption=yes" in my iax.conf entry for this connection, so 
now my IAX-based calls are secure."

Thx.
