[Asterisk-Dev] IAX codec negociation (again...)

[Goldenear]

I agree with you. we should have the choice between forcing the use of 
the prefered codec (even if that sometimes means transcoding) or forcing 
codec negociation and avoid transcoding.

Also, it would be very usefull if we could define both incoming/outgoing 
codec(s) for each phone/enpoint in iax.conf and sip.conf. At the moment, 
I far as I know, only the incoming codec(s) can be specified separatly 
for each client... outgoing codecs are common for all clients.
