It would be more accurate to the way that the media.caps/prefs works to just 
eliminate the disallow mechanism entirely.  It would be enough to say 
allow=!all,ulaw,alaw and then only output allow=(ulaw|alaw), or at least, less 
confusing.  But in the interest of retaining the older allow/disallow 
convention, I think it's still a good idea to have it for input at least.  A 
possibility would be to eliminate it from output on a sorcery level - as in 
mark disallow as a write-only value, there purely for the convenience of 
configuration files but otherwise hidden (which would then remove it from 
PJSIP_ENDPOINT() as well, maintaining consistency).

There are possibly other ways of handling this as well, and while I agree with 
you that it's desirable to avoid this kind of ugly code, I'm not sure that 
another solution wouldn't be a bigger problem.  But I'm very open to ideas on 
this.
