The Asterisk SIP channel has no knowledge about interfaces and can't
bind to a specific interface for communication. In fact, it's a well known
bug that if you have multiple interfaces with different IP networks,
Asterisk will send from the wrong IP on some of the interfaces.

Are you sure about that? The only problem area that I'm aware of is when there 
are multiple *overlapping* interfaces (on the same subnet, or providing the 
same route(s)). In that case, Asterisk can receive messages on one IP address 
out of the overlapping set, but reply using a different one from the set, 
because it doesn't specify the source IP address and instead lets the UDP/IP 
stack select one.

If the interfaces don't overlap in any way, I don't see how it would be 
possible for Asterisk to send messages with the wrong source IP address, since 
it does not specify the source IP address at all. If this is occurring, it must 
involve the operating system's IP stack in some fashion.

Yes, I still use quite a lot of IPtables tricks to overcome this issue.

That's quite interesting; can you describe a scenario where this occurs?
