oSIP received events in fifo and process message
one after the other. The retranmission will result
in a new answer sent.

This is not possible. events are always added in order
to osip state machine.

The callback (for osip) are only called in one thread.
No other thread can access this information when a callback
is running.

For partysip callback (hook), a mutex is making sure that
information cannot be accessed more than once at the same
time... By mostly locking evry other thread.... :-<
