Given a source capability of h264 and ulaw, a destination capability of
h264 and g722 then ast_translator_best_choice() would pick h264 as the
best choice even though h264 is a video codec and Asterisk only supports
translation of audio codecs. When the audio starts flowing, there are
warnings about a codec mismatch when the channel tries to write a frame to
the peer.
* Made ast_translator_best_choice() only select audio codecs.
* Restore a check in channel.c:set_format() lost after v1.8 to prevent
trying to set a non-audio codec.
This is an intermediate patch for a series of patches aimed at improving
translation path choices for ASTERISK-24841.
This patch is a complete enough fix for ASTERISK-21777 as the v11 version
of ast_translator_best_choice() does the same thing. However, chan_sip.c
still somehow tries to call ast_codec_choose() which then calls
ast_best_codec() with a capability set that doesn't contain any audio
formats for the incoming call. The remaining warning message seems to be
a benign transient.
