   It is straight forward to answer whichever I want. However, there is still
   one issue remaind. Let's say I am to send fax. After establishing voice
   session, the receiver side sends re-INVITE whose SDP contains both
   audio and image in order to switch over to T.38 mode. Obviously, from 
   the context, I am supposed to take image in this case.

   My question is how I can decide to take image in this case or decide
   to take audio in other case. I guess I have to check the context to decide 
   which one to take, which is still confusing.

The problem is the question of "mode".  If the intention is that the
connection will never use audio and image at the same time, then the
initial connection should be with SDP for one medium, and then later a
re-INVITE would eliminate that medium and add the other one.

However, with SIP it is more common to assume that multiple media
streams may be transmitted at one time, each side sending what media
it desires to send at any moment, and each side receiving whatever
media are sent to it at the time.  If you do not have bandwidth and
processing limitations, this is *simpler* than trying to negotiate and
maintain a mode.

If you have a situation where you can send audio or image, but only
one at a thime, and the caller wants to offer to the callee using
either initially, then the caller must offer both in the SDP, then
wait until the callee chooses one or the other (either in the answer
SDP, or if both are in the answer SDP, by which media are actually
sent), and then re-INVITE to limit the media to the chosen medium.
Either side then can use re-INVITE to attempt to change to the other
medium.
