One of the dangers in this situation is that you don't necessarily know what
kind of early media the far end is sending. If you bridge the early media on
leg B to leg A then the call is bridged. Are you going to monitor the early
media on leg B and then unbridge if you get something you don't like? Not
likely.

If you cannot rely on early media then it's wise to ignore it and handle
ringback on your own. Unless, of course, there's a third option that someone
else has to offer.
