The device communicating with Asterisk over SIP channel
SIP/vita3-000010af had a change in the media source (26 ==
AST_CONTROL_SRCCHANGE). This occurs when the SSRC in an RTP packet sent
by that device changed.

When in the middle of a dialling operation, we tend to log out when one
of the parties passes information to the other party. In general, this
wouldn't flood the CLI, as a party shouldn't be passing much information
off to the other parties involved in the dial.

I'm not sure why a device in the middle of a 'normal' dialling operation
(regardless of it being either the caller/peer) would switch its SSRC
rapidly in such a fashion. A pcap should show the changes in SSRC and
might illustrate what's occurring.
