That doesn't help very often. The case of concern is when the call 
originates from Jingle and an offer is included. This then gets 
gatewayed to SIP, and then forked. At that point each of the forks could 
start sending media back to the media address in the offer.

The Jingle end doesn't have the option to answer the call.

If the GW terminates and relays media, then it is possible for the GW to 
answer the Jingle call, prior to receiving an answer from any fork. Then 
the GW can decide what media to relay.

But that only works if the GW is a media relay. It isn't an option for a 
signaling only GW.
