[OpenSIPS-Users] Mediaproxy wrong port, bug?

We are having this problem as well even not using asterisk.

This setting nat=never tells asterisk not to use symmetric RTP
response. So Asterisk will still send replies to old ports negotiated
into SDP even if mediaproxy changes source port and because of this
setting mediaproxy will be able to see them all time. Our call parties
use symmetric RTP by default and there is no way to disable this
behavior. When mediaproxy sends its first packet from wrong port all
responses start to come to this port and after some time conntrack
timeout is triggered.  I have sent full dump (RTP+SIP) with logs where
you can see exaclty how it happens.
