It is what he's looking for; it allows for creation of RTP stack
implementations that provide what RTP-using channel drivers (like
chan_sip) require without the media actually flowing through the host
running Asterisk. As Tzafrir already mentioned, making use of this
functionality is a bit complex as Asterisk is not just a media gateway
but also needs to have access to the media stream during call setup (and
possibly at other times).
