Known Problems
EyeBeam softphone supports a lot of different audio codecs. In opposite to most embedded VoIP devices ("hardphones"), eyeBeam does support switching between different codecs without re-negotiation and even different audio codecs in send and recv direction. Embedded VoIP devices on the other hand require same audio codec in send and recv direction (symmetric codec) and change of codec requires re-negotiation using another SDP offer/answer exchange.
Example:
If eyeBeam is called from a hardphone that offers "g711a,g711u,g729,g723"
EyeBeam will send an answer with "g711a,g711u", but starts sending g711u.
The hardphone will take g711a as the one-and-only selected codec and starts sending g711a.
EyeBeam will playback g711a without any problem while sending g711u, but the hardphone CANNOT playback g711u.
