It depends on the channels involved as well as the features in use. To
prevent direct media from occurring you can set the "direct_media" option
to "no" on the endpoint. The native_rtp bridge can still be used, though,
to provide more efficient in-Asterisk forwarding of media.

If that doesn't change things you'd need to examine further, such as
looking at the SIP trace for a call (pjsip set logger on) as 30 seconds is
close to the amount of time for a lost ACK to a 200 OK, which generally
indicates a NAT issue.
