   I am surprised that this caused any confusion. RFC 3264 seems pretty
   clear to me.

   Citing from section 6.1:
     "The answerer MUST send using a media format in the offer
      that is also listed in the answer, and SHOULD send using the most
      preferred media format in the offer that is also listed in the
   answer."

   and from section 7:
     "The offerer MAY immediately cease listening for media formats that
      were listed in the initial offer, but not present in the answer."

Perhaps the matter hinges on the meaning of "upset" in the original
post.  It's perfectly legal (per RFC 3264 cited above) for the
receiver to not render RTP using a codec not in the answer, but since
such packets may be lingering in the network, it must not fail or be
problematic if it receives such RTP.
