[Freeswitch-users] Codec negotiation questions

Do it like what?

you are using FS as a b2bua, the default behavior is to make a list of
codecs that are parsed on every inbound call as soon as the invite is
received.
if you bridge that inbound leg to an outbound leg it will again use that
same list with the one used by the inbound leg as the first choice (this is
a favor we do by passing the chosen codec on the a leg over to the outbound
call on the b leg) if this is not satisfactory i have left you with the
option to control the behaviour yourself in a script.
