Congratulations. You've discovered promiscuous early media. That's why  
I think this part of the protocol spec is broken; early media (driven  
by PSTN-interworking) combined with forking produces an intractable  
problem.

Various hacks have been used to address the problem. As far as I know,  
none of them really work "right", but you might find one that works  
most of the time for your use case.

I suggest trying the sip-implementors mailing list for advice on this  
issue:

Although personally, what I'd probably do is hunt down the developers  
of the UAs that are all sending 183 with SDP and related RTP and  
verbally abuse them. Of course, if the UAs are PSTN gateways, there  
really isn't much else they can do.
