Description

If an agent is standing in a webRTC region, in a parcel that has been configured with voice disabled and they join a p2p call, they do not transmit void audio until they toggle the 'speak' button off and back on. This appears to be a state issue with the 'speak' button. This bug is the same whether the user initiated or answered the call.

This issue does not affect multiagent voice calls. I believe this is because the 'Speak' button does not become enabled automatically when joining the call in that scenario.

Reproduction steps

1. UserA: Go to a webRTC location with 'Enable Voice' disabled at the parcel level

• Suggestion: secondlife://Aditi/secondlife/webRTC1/207/217/24

2. UserB: Go to a webRTC location with 'Enable Voice' enabled (either using a parcel channel or the estate channel is OK)
3. UserA: initiate a p2p call to UserB
4. UserB: answer the call
5. Observe that the call connects, and that both UserA and UserB see their 'speak' buttons automatically become enabled
6. UserA and UserB: speak to each other, and note if the other avatar's voice indicator and audio is heard

Expected results:
In (6), UserA and UserB should be able to speak to each other without touching any UI buttons

Actual results:

• In (6), UserA can hear UserB immediately and see their voice indicator levels in the call
• In (6), UserB does not hear UserA or see their voice indicator levels in the call. It is as though UserA is not speaking.
  • If UserA toggles their 'Speak' button off and on, then expected behavior is restored - UserB can hear UserA.
