When send the re-INVITE, should listen based on the 
re-INVITE and prior SDP.  The positive/negative 
response will indicate which definition should 
remain active.

When providing the change in a 200 response, should 
listen based on the 200 response and prior SDP 
until the ACK is received or starting to receive 
packets based upon the new SDP.

Yes, if you are using the same connection address/port 
and did not hold between the media switch.  

Note: the media packet will contain which codec is being 
used.

Yes, if you are using the same connection address/port 
and did not hold between the media switch.

Note: the media packet will contain which codec is being 
used.
