Bogdan is working on http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-5492, which is
just a first step in providing a more user friendly way of configuring codecs.
Currently every managed device has a different way of configuring codecs.
That's because sipXconfig plug-ins closely follow device's data models.

We want to improve it in two ways:
(1) by providing a better UI that plug-ins can use to offer codecs
configuration (that's what XX-5492 is about)
(2) by providing a central place that administrator can use to configure a
default list of codecs for all devices (that's _not_ XX-5492)

Paul and I exchanged some ideas on the list about problem (2):
I had this naive vision that sipXconfig will query all the plug-ins
construct a full list of all the codecs and then will let administrator to
select which codecs and in which order should be used.

Once admin decides that, sipXconfig will - for each device and service
separately - translate the global list into what's supported for a specific
device or service; raising red flags if it turns out that the intersection
of desired and supported lists is empty.

We would probably still need to allow for overwriting the global list on a
per-device (and group) basis. One use case I can think of: codec X has a
buggy implementation on a specific device; admin wants to allow it in
general but not for that device type.

Does that seem like a reasonable approach?
