I guess as soon as
1) a RTP stream is configured, and
2) there are actual audio speech frames received from the phone

Each frame on the TCH can be either audio or FACCH, this is
differentiated in L1 by the use of the stealing flags.  So as long as
the phone is sending FACCH frames, they go to the LAPDm implementation
in the BTS.  Once it sends voice frames, they go to the RTP socket.

The RSL CHANNEL MODE (speech) might also have an influence on it.

The BTS doesn't have anythin to do with call control.
