That's what I thought would happen. When I set bindaddr=:: and use 
'netstat -lpn |grep 5060' it shows:

  udp6     0   0 :::5060           :::*         9898/asterisk

Services like this usually also support IPv4 and as much is suggested by 
this comment in the sip.conf that comes with my Asterisk package:

  ; (Note that using bindaddr=:: will show only a single
  ; IPv6 socket in netstat. IPv4 is supported at the same
  ; time using IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.)

However, the moment I reload my sip.conf with bindaddr=::, my entire list 
of IPv4-only peers loses contact with Asterisk with warnings about the 
network being unreachable. So, it would appear that the version of 
Asterisk that I'm using is operating with a single stack socket.

Cheers,
