[OpenSIPS-Users] RTP proxy RE-INVITE with late SDP (ACK cannot have SDP body)

[Răzvan Crainea]

Hi, Callum!

I've just checked this and this looks like a bug in the 
rtpproxy_engage() function, not handling properly  scenarios where late 
negociation is happening in the middle of the call. Please open a bug 
report for this on our tracking system[1].
In the meantime, the only solution is to work rtpproxy manually, using 
the offer/answer model.

Best regards,
Răzvan
