I've read #3346 and it seems to be rather orthogonal to the idea I showed.
#3346 focuses on having one preferred codec and keeping current situation
that codecs of both directions have to be the same (I saw
preferred_codec_rev2.diff.txt in the ticket; at least for chan_sip.c it keeps
the problem). Our requirement is to allow work in situation when codecs on
input and output can be different.

In any case thanks for your criticism.
