488 Not Acceptable Here seems reasonable to me; in that case, the media 
offer is not acceptable, as your endpoint cannot use the requested 
transport mechanism.

Discussions on the IETF lists have pointed to ICE being the *strongly 
recommended* way to offer both IPv4 and IPv6 candidate addresses for a 
media stream, if for no other reason than that usage of ICE also 
mandates connectivity checks to determine which candidate(s) are 
actually suitable for use.
