Unfortunately you can't do what you want using SIP_CODEC; if you set 
that variable, the formats (both audio and video) allowed on the channel 
are reset to whatever you specify, and that variable can only hold one 
format name.

It seems odd though that you want to change audio codecs based on 
bandwidth tests, but still allow video. The video stream is going to 
consume vastly more bandwidth than the audio stream.
