I didn't make any changes to libiax2 w.r.t. how the codec negotiation 
works yet.  Basically, I think I'll need to just look at what asterisk 
does, and follow the same model.   (I also haven't tested any calls 
being _accepted_, only calls from iaxclient -> asterisk.

If people want this done faster, of course, contributions are always 
welcome :)
