[Freeswitch-users] Eavesdrop results in rewriting RTP sequence numbers on a bridge.

Yes, my bad. Misinterpretation of Wireshark graph:

Something definitely changes when the media bug is added. I will work out
what but I think FS is inserting silence frames when the media bug is on,
and not inserting them when it is off.

Thanks for setting me straight.
