> ast_answer(), when supplied a delay before returning to the caller, use ast_safe_sleep() to implement the delay. Unfortunately during this time any incoming frames are discarded, which is problematic for T.38 re-INVITES and other sorts of channel operations.

> When a delay is not passed to ast_answer(), it still delays for up to 500 milliseconds, waiting for media to arrive. Again, though, it discards any control frames, or non-voice media frames.

> This patch rectifies this situation, by storing all incoming frames during the delay period on a list, and then requeuing them onto the channel before returning to the caller.
