The 'directmedia' or 'canreinvite' settings only apply to Asterisk
generating a re-INVITE to initiate remote packet bridging. Setting
that to 'no' will only prevent Asterisk from initiating a re-INVITE to
perform said bridging; it won't apply to anything else. There's a
whole host of reasons why Asterisk would generate a re-INVITE. That
could be due to SIP session timers, or because a change occurred in
the party identification via a connected line update. Asterisk will
generate re-INVITEs when that happens, and there isn't a setting that
will prevent that from happening.

Asterisk should have no problem accepting and handling a re-INVITE
from a provider, so long as it is formed correctly.

If your provider can't accept a re-INVITE being sent to them, there's
something seriously wrong with that provider. This is pretty core
functionality in any SIP stack.
