This could happen if the wo devices negotiate a direct connection. IAX
has a mechanism to do this just like REINVITE in SIP. Once the call is
setup * connects the two end points directly and takes itself out of
the call path. This happens as long as * is not required to transcode
between codecs or protocols. Also, there is a parameter for IAX.CONF
called NOTRANSFER= that can user enable/disable such things on a per
peer basis.
