Why could it not work? While RFC2833 is carried over the RTP stream it 
is not sent in the audio stream so it should work as long as the remote 
end is using it.

It's always best to specify the dtmfmode in use as it controls both 
receiving and sending. The auto setting also does not encompass the info 
DTMF option for sending.

I do not believe it has been changed at all. If you have a method of 
better determining things please feel free to share it.
