[VoiceOps] Call established before audio path

[Ryan Delgrosso]

Ive seen this pretty regularly, often times it happens when there are 
multiple sip servers in the path, and the final 200ok with SDP takes a 
second to get to the endpoint. Especially when something that does 
symmetric latching is in the path. Its not uncommon for symmetric 
latching to cause this as the called audio will start flowing the moment 
it sends the 200ok, but the 200ok still has to be received by the caller 
and it has to begin sending audio for the latch to take and have the 
audio routed both ways.

The answer is typically a 0.5 second delay at the start of your prompt 
to insulate against this.
