+; Codec negotiation
+;
+; When Asterisk is receiving a call, the codec will initially be set to the
+; first codec in the allowed codecs defined for the user receiving the call
+; that the caller also indicates that it supports. But, after the caller
+; starts sending RTP, Asterisk will switch to using whatever codec the caller
+; is sending.
+;
+; When Asterisk is placing a call, the codec used will be the first codec in
+; the allowed codecs that the callee indicates that it supports. Asterisk will
+; *not* switch to whatever codec the callee is sending.
