Since ptime in SIP applies to the media stream (and not to a specific 
media format) you can actually set a global framing value using 
ast_format_cap_set_framing. This applies to all media formats within a 
capabilities structure, unless one is specified for the format explicitly.

For getting them you use ast_format_cap_get_framing.
