Hello Olivier,

thanks for your quick response. I'll have to check if this is what we're
doing as of now for the case when we offer. Trickling is involved and IIRC
when we offer (and as such we have an agent ready) we pass the remote
trickle candidates to libnice as soon as we get them, instead of waiting
for the answer as we probably should. I'll check if this also solves the
issue referenced in my first post.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
