A requirement for the SIP PBX I created for my company was to record all calls passing through it. I solved it by forcing all SIP message to pass through the PBX and to modify the SDP body so the stream passes through it and gets recorded. It works well.

I recently found out that this is not allowed.

Is there any other way to implement call recording and how "wrong" is this in regard to the protocol?
