As a side note, I noticed after my upgrade to the latest CVS last night 
that there seems to be some updates in the way that SIP handles codec 
negotiation. As an example, I used to have the following enabled for my 
Sippura and Cisco sip.conf entries:

disallow=all
allow=g729
allow=ulaw

Now.. this particular box doesn't have any g729 licenses on it, and prior 
to my CVS update last night, this didn't present a problem. After the 
update I was getting "No Codec Translation Path" errors, which makes an 
awful lot of sense, both from the perspective that g729 is first in the 
list and that I don't have any licenses.

I had to comment out the g729 entry to get things working again.

I seem to remember reading some patches on asterisk-cvs that actually 
corrected the protocol selection logic and made it work the way it should. 
Just wanted to let people know about it in case they have other problems.
