    (Closes issue #17836. Reported, patched by RoadKill)

  * Ensure SSRC is changed when media source is changed to resolve audio delay.
    (Closes issue #17404. Reported, tested by sdolloff. Patched by jpeeler)

  * Only do magic pickup when notifycid is enabled.
    A new way of doing BLF pickup was introduced into 1.6.2. This feature adds a
    call-id value into the XML of a SIP_NOTIFY message sent to alert a subscriber
    that a device is ringing. This option should only be enabled when the new
    'notifycid' option is set, but this was not the case. Instead the call-id
    value was included for every RINGING Notify message, which caused a
    regression for people who used other methods for call pickup.
    (Closes issue #17633. Reported, patched by urosh. Patched by dvossel.
     Tested by: dvossel, urosh, okrief, alecdavis)
