Open Source SIP "PBX"?

I am looking for some piece of Open Source software to implement a SIP "PBX" on a Unix system. Ideally, it should be able to do the following:

  • provide SIP registry server to local SIP phones
  • register itself to potentially multiple outside SIP registry servers to receive SIP calls from outside under different SIP addresses (which providers might have mapped to PSTN numbers).
  • Provide some screening logic for incoming SIP calls
  • Forward incoming outside SIP calls to local SIP phones according to a definable logic
  • Doing so it should act as a media gateway as well, i.e. it should be a complete application-level gateway between local SIP phones and the outside world (involves e.g. some SIP header rewriting)
  • It should do so as well for outgoing calls
  • It should be able to implement a private numbering plan/call routing logic for outgoing calls including the use of different SIP caller addresses depending on the destination.
  • It should be able to do codec conversions, i.e. allowing the use of a compressing codec for outside incoming and outgoing calls with a local SIP phone which only supports G.711.
  • It should be able to color traffic by setting the IPv4 ToS bits to a defined value for outgoing VoIP packets, thus setting a basis for CoS-aware QoS.

Is Asterisk a good starting point to look for these features? Or is there any other software you can recommend taking a look at?
