[Freeswitch-dev] Would like to contribute bypass media feature for freeswitch/skinny

[Michael Jerris]

I've thought about this before.  What does the format look like that skinny uses for media capabilities?  Is it possible for it to map to sdp easily?  We will either need to translate to sdp, or add more logic in switch_core_media.
