As the OP of this thread, I'm involved with an itsp operation that includes asterisk with links to regional/national itsp facilities, PRI's to local pstn facilities, and broadband sip/iax connections to residence and business customers. I don't think the legalese will be justification for not providing calea support.
You're right for that matter due to your status as a provider. Well I work @ a provider I never name and we are using Netrake's nCite which is compliant.
So, my initial guess is that some "box" will be required (probably one provided by law enforcement, or, one that meets technical calea specs that must be purchased and installed) that accepts official and secure calea transactions (from law enforcement), and forwards those requested tranactions to asterisk in some form or another. To further advance that "guess", calea transactions may simply request certain cdr detail and/or might involve setting up a real-time call monitoring function forwarding audio to the requested calea agency. There is likely some sort of internal logging and reporting function that can be used as a form of "checks and balances" in subsequent court cases, etc.

If those "guesses" are anywhere near realistic, then I'd further guess that some asterisk app would need to be written to handle at least a portion of the calea tranactions.

There you have my two cents on this. Most SBC's should be compliant. As for the audio streams, someone using TLS/SIP renders that irrelevant.
