You can't have two codecs of the same type in your codec list. SIP and
H.323 won''t support it, and OPAL tries hard to stop if from happening.

You don't say whether you are using the latest plugin codecs or the
embedded codec system. As Damien points out in a seperate email, the
codec management code was revamped during the recent plugin code - if
you are not using it then I recommend you change over.
