Override codec on subsequent call? - Half solved

Hi,

We have successfully avoided transcoding in the past by simply enforcing a single codec (g729) on all upstream and downstream trunks. We now however want to only offer alaw on calls from a certain downstream trunk.

We subsequently allowed g722,alaw,g729 on the upstream trunk (chan_sip) and set only the one downstream trunk (chan_iax2) to ‘alaw,g729’. First leg is correct, in that it elects alaw, and we subsequently set SIP_CODEC as a re-inheritable variable (__ prefix) to limit the codec choice as only ‘alaw’. When the 2nd leg of the call is made the offer however still includes the trunk’s preference:

-- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 73.44.44.44:4569:
--        > requested format = g722,
--        > requested prefs = (g722|alaw|g729),
--        > actual format = alaw,
--        > host prefs = (alaw|g729),
--        > priority = mine

PS: I’ve confirmed that calling ‘DumpChan’ shows ‘SIP_CODEC=alaw’ being listed under ‘variables’.

Any tips on how I can override the offered codecs on an outgoing call?

It appears ‘SIP_CODEC’ only applies to an incoming call, got this working by setting _SIP_CODEC_OUTBOUND as the current channel’s audio format:
Set(_SIP_CODEC_OUTBOUND=${CHANNEL(audioreadformat)})

How do I set PJSIP_MEDIA_OFFER as an inheritable variable so that a subsequent call leg uses it? I currently get an error when setting this prior to an iax2 channel dialling out.

Also, would anyone know how to do the equivalent for a call out via IAX2?

dialplan:

exten => s,n,Set(TECH=${CUT(CHANNEL,/,1)})
exten => s,n,Set(_SIP_CODEC_OUTBOUND=${CHANNEL(audioreadformat)})
exten => s,n,Set(_PJSIP_MEDIA_OFFER(audio)=!all,${CHANNEL(audioreadformat)})
