So, without examining the RTP, you cannot tell which codec was actually <br>
used?<br>
<br>
In the above example, even though the INVITE/SDP says they prefer gsm over <br>
ulaw and the OK/SDP says I prefer ulaw over gsm, they can choose to use <br>
gsm or ulaw?<br>
<br>
Can it be asymmetrical? They send gsm and I send ulaw?<br>
<br>
