IMO, this is one main "deficiency" with SDP (RFC 2327) in SIP.  Since there
are no direction attributes in the above, it would seem that neither
endpoint will "communicate" telephone-events to the other.  Neither endpoint
has agreed on the payload type that they will both send and receive with.
If the endpoints want to use a different payload type for a specific
encoding, they need to be explicit IMHO about which value they'll use in
each direction.
