Peiople get confused when you put them on hold and they hear their own hold music/messages instead of yours. If you are worred about saving 64K of bandwidth then you have far more serious issues than which side plays the hold music..

The more everyone converts to SIP and peers with our carriers, the more stacks we see on the far end. A growing number seem to have trouble accepting any kind of hold SDP signals such as a=inactive/sendonly, quad zeros, etc. Is this vexing you too, or is it just me?
