Yes, Digium Asterisk still assumes that the *first* codec in the list of "allows" is an audio codec always; although video (and text) are supported for more than a decade, and the codec part got an overhaul for Asterisk 13. If the first codec is video (or text), the source code goes crazy. Perhaps nobody noticed that before. Perhaps dozens noticed that before but did not report.

For what its worth, we ran into similar problems some time ago and 
solved it by sorting codecs in audio/video order beforehand. We 
considered this to be a configuration error and moved on. Probably 
others came to the same conclusion and did the same.
