There are friendlier ways of implementing color ringback tones than described
in Brian's document.  Brian's document only describes the current state of the
art.

It would be friendlier, more secure, and allow conveying RTP payload types, to
only play media after you have received SDP describing that media.  For
example, playing color ringback tone could first require sending the caller a
18x with the SDP of the stream generating the color ringback tone (IP address,
UDP port, codec, packetization interval, etc.), and then stream the music to
the caller.  When the called party generates its 18x and SDP, that would also
sent to the calling party (who continues playing back the color ringback
tone).  Sending the called party's SDP allows the calling party to prepare to
receive that RTP, such as kicking off DTLS-SRTP (if being used), invoking a
transcoder, etc. -- all the while the color ringback tone is being played.
When the called party answers, the 200 causes the calling party to prefer that
incoming (S)RTP over the color ringback and the color ringback music can be
stopped.
