[Freeswitch-users] Calls dropping due to SDP change

Hi,

yes, we are using HD audio there. Deutsche Telekom is codec transparent,
they even pass opus and other codecs since a while.
So disabling any codecs but G.711 is not really a solution, especially
since DT is the biggest provider in Germany and that issue might not
only affect my setup but in theory all other Freeswitch in Germany here
which might want to call a DT landline or mobile number.

Is there a way to make freeswitch stop mixing up the SDP?
