This was announced on the -dev list recently. I haven't looked at it.

The experimental IPv6 patch can be downloaded from [1].

It adds IPv6 support to the manager interface and the SIP and IAX2 channels.

It may break the IPv4 support, since It will never use IPv4 when
communicating with servers that have AAAA records.

Use "bindaddr=[::0]" to enable both IPv4 and IPv6 support. And you
may not disable rtp checksums since UDP checksums are required for IPv6.
