'canreinvite' has *nothing* to do with T.38 re-INVITEs. 'canreinvite'
controls whether Asterisk is allowed to setup a direct media path
between endpoints, or must keep the media flowing through itself.

If you don't need a direct media path, don't enable 'canreinvite' (which
in Asterisk 1.8 has been renamed to avoid this confusion). If you do
need a direct media path, you'll have a problem, because Asterisk cannot
currently setup UDPTL (T.38) direct media paths, only RTP direct media
paths.
