   (related to issue #13630).

   over (issue #14815).

 * Fix a bug where the codecs of the called party leg were not properly sent
   back to the call leg when reinvited (issue #13569).

 * Fix broken attended transfers (issue #15183).

 * Add flags to chanspy audiohook so that audio stays in sync (issue #13745).

 * Resolve issues with choppy sound when using res_timing_pthread
   (issue #14412)

Additionally, an update to chan_iax2 related to issue AST-2009-001 is included
