Which I have done, and it does work, more or less.

However - tunelling UDP over SSH which uses TCP is not a good thing.  All 
TCP's retransmission stuff causes major trouble for the IAX/RTP stream, 
and looks like lots of jitter.

It'll probably be OK provided the underlying network is good quality, no 
or minimal packet loss and no congestion.
